Show HN: A Slack command I created to solve my own problem

Heh, it definitely seems like more time was spent on pricing than the actual &quot;app&quot;. It&#x27;s a cool idea, but it&#x27;s literally a one-liner after boilerplate.<p>Nothing particularly wrong with that; that&#x27;s how I got started too back in the 90&#x27;s. Maybe the difference was that I was doing it for fun, and payment was totally optional, so I thought hey, maybe I&#x27;ll make some spare change. Today the environment feels... greedy? Not saying this app&#x27;s author feels that way, just pontificating on the state of the startup industry.

This strikes me as a case where you vaguely perceived a problem, thought &quot;hmm, personal problems are the best source of project ideas,&quot; and quickly rushed to create a solution because you&#x27;re a maker who enjoys making things. Did you open a text editor alongside Slack, or message yourself&#x2F;slackbot, and find both solutions wanting? Would you pay $1&#x2F;user&#x2F;month for the added benefit of your solution?<p>My rude, unsolicited, very possibly erroneous, but ultimately well-intentioned suggestion is that you release it as a free service and maybe open source it. If you brand it well you can collect some stars. But I can&#x27;t see someone paying for this.

Don&#x27;t listen to the haters. You launched, with pricing. I could see myself using the tool though not sure if I&#x27;d pay.<p>We launched brb.life last year, also a super simple app. No payments yet but we have about 70 users of all sizes. I even got an email from IBM asking about our data store methods because a team wanted to install it...<p>I think there is a case for a meta tool that includes something like draft + other Slack productivity tools in a single bundle where many different use cases are covered with a single price point

Looks great! - I&#x27;ve often wished I had a draft function in Slack when I&#x27;m doing weird code formatting as well! Pricing seems a bit...off...though. Assuming I&#x27;m a medium company of say 50 people, then I&#x27;m looking at $50&#x2F;month just for people to have this piece of functionality? Sorry, but no thanks.<p>Honestly seems better suited to a little side project that scratches your own itch that you can make available for free than for a tiny SAAS. Not saying that you shouldn&#x27;t figure out a way to monetize it, if you can great for you! Just don&#x27;t think you&#x27;ll get many takers at a price&#x2F;user...

A company should immediately fire everyone in their financial department if they were to spend money on this.

It would be interesting if people actually paid for this. It seems too simple to pay for. Do you have a decent number of customers?
