Re:Show HN: Bot to schedule messages in Slack on Tuesday September 29, 2020 @05:30AM (#24625588)
I initially built this small Slack bot to avoid late night Slack messages (I'm based in Australia). It's now been used by thousands of teams.

We'll send your slack message on your behalf. They'll come from your own profile. All handled securely with some nice features like recurring messages.

This is really cool - how have your customers found you? I imagine a lot of people would do content through Instagram?
I believe a large majority of reddit users are lurkers. I browsed the site almost daily for months before I felt the need to create an account so I could start commenting.

We have tunnels and a couple of seperate motorways designed soecifically for buses. Which is great for getting from southern suburbs to the city. But anything off the main line can take an extra half hour.
Courtland has done such a great job with IndieHackers I was inspired to start something similar for ecommerce founders. I've worked with Shopify for several years now and wanted to learn more about the journey of successful stores. After about a month of hustling interviews on the side I feel comfortable submitting it to HN to see what I can improve on going forward - josh.
This is the most interesting point I've seen raised today. How can you lock developers into your OS with Xcode and then not give them a viable, portable option. If they could just beef up the '12 MBP I'd be soo happy.
Shoes of Prey have done a similar thing here in Australia with shoes. Last year they raised a solid amount of capital to expand into the U.S as well. I wonder, what other industries would the ability to produce unique products in China at scale apply to?
