Envoy.com | Backend Engineer (Ruby/Elixir/Phoenix), iOS Engineer, Android Engineer, Frontend Engineer | San Francisco | ONSITE,VISA https://www.envoy.com

We on a mission to make the office feel effortless. We create technology that does it’s job, so people can focus on theirs. For us, it started with the front desk. Signing in with paper and pen used to be the norm, but Envoy set a new standard. It’s simple: Now, visitors everywhere are signing in on iPads. To date, Envoy has helped our customers like Slack, Box, Github and Pinterest welcome over 14 million visitors in more than four thousand offices worldwide. But visitor management is just the beginning: We’re building a world where you know instantly when packages are delivered; where your office unlocks automatically when you arrive; where you can book a meeting room, simply by walking through the door.

If this world sounds exciting, we'd love for you to help us build it.

Botmetrics (https://www.getbotmetrics.com)

Botmetrics is an open-source, secure, private conversational analytics platform (https://github.com/botmetrics/botmetrics)

If you build a Slack/FB Messenger/Kik bot and want to measure and grow your bot's audience in a secure, private way, Botmetrics is the answer.

We are a young open-source project but we have some interesting issues to work on: https://github.com/botmetrics/botmetrics/issues

We're also on slack: https://slack.getbotmetrics.com

It's AWS Lambda in the background with proper IAM permissions set up so that powers you add to your team are only accessible from within your team. Happy to answer more questions or please email me at [email protected]

ah hmm, will see how that perception can be changed.

Your custom code is hosted on AWS in sandboxed environments that are only visible your team. But it has nothing to do with Heroku.

Re:Show HN: Nestor – Hosted Hubot for Slack on Tuesday March 22, 2016 @11:15PM (#11341867)
erm it's not coupled with Heroku at all? Where does it say that?
Re:Show HN: Nestor – Hosted Hubot for Slack on Tuesday March 22, 2016 @11:06PM (#11341833)
there isn't a public pricing page yet (i need to get to it), but once you sign up, you can find it.

There's a free plan (limited to 5 powers that you can add to nestor). After that, plans start at 25$ monthly

Author here, happy to answer any questions, here's a video demo of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuJAFkgWMPw
huge fan of the tintin comics :)
i was using slackin (https://github.com/rauchg/slackin) and i think there's a bug that caused it to send shitloads of emails to users so i've disabled it.

please email [email protected] for an invite to the Nestor slack.

yes nestor doesn't take insults personally.
oh is it when you signed in here: https://help.asknestor.me ?

(edit: I'm using the slackin app: https://github.com/rauchg/slackin and looking into what happened)

thanks will look into it! pls join the nestor slack at https://help.asknestor.me if you need more help.
(of the homepage, i.e.)
thanks for the report, looking into it!

edit: you can join the Nestor Slack: https://help.asknestor.me if you need more assistance.

I'm one of the makers of Nestor (previously co-founded @nitrousio).

- Pricing model will be based on number of integrations that you have (there will be some integrations that are free to use: yelp, uber, etc.) - API is planned so that you can add your own services.

Join Nestor's Slack room https://help.asknestor.me for more info!

Edit: PS - If you'd like to try out Nestor without having to add it to your team, you can join this Slack: https://help.asknestor.me

* Natural Language instructions -- no need to remember commands, just speak to it like you would to a human. * Easier to integrate new services * No need to maintain servers
Co-founded Nitrous (but no longer part of it) so take my opinion for what it's worth.

The real benefit is not in the Web IDE per se, but the fact that your dev environment is accessible from anywhere. That is the killer feature. You don't have to setup your environment more than once if you have more than one computer; you can work even with a Chromebook/iPad, and it's easily shareable with your team.

The web IDE is great if you want to make quick edits (or want to collaborate in real-time) but in most other cases, native editors have it beat.

Nitrous also provides file-sync tools which let you use your current editors with a cloud-based dev environment [1].
