Thanks for feedback re: robot emoji. You can also use a backslash command if you want to add a new piece of text to the timeline from Slack.

re: postmortem workflow. The timeline view is built to help postmortems, one of the ways we're doing this is making it easy to paste the info from the timeline as rich text or markdown from the timeline into your post mortem workflow.

We have plans to build a native mobile app for ios & android for OnCall that would let you achieve this over the next few months.
