I have used Gelato in a few hackathon projects, and it works very well to create conditional functions that run when you want them to, without relying on centralized hosting/cloud services.

Translate for Slack Version 3 was released last week. The Translate app for Slack enables both manual and automatic translation. Manual translation includes 1) a /translate slash command, 2) a shortcut to use a form to translate text, and 3) a "Translate this message" action that translates a single message posted by anyone (only you see the translation).

Interesting product. Very valuable once the FAQ DB / flows are comprehensive enough. I guess that is also the main challenge. ;) Do you guys use Wit.ai (or similar) on the backend for natural language parsing?

Very nice. I was working on a Slack app yesterday and thinking that this was a big gap that was missing, the need to link users to external webforms wasn't great from a UX perspective. So this is good news. Gonna play with it.... ;)

Just want to offer a counterpoint to the opinions that $1.50 per post is expensive. It completely depends on the type of publication, of course.

@jamiepeak regarding the plans, what is the difference between "2 templates" and "unlimited templates"? Put differently, what if someone has 5 apps and needs a site for each - does the Pro Plan enable this?

@stefanstok Great idea, this could be super useful. A 98% deliverability rate is great, but I am more interested in the "email discovery rate" with this tool. In other words, if I try to access the emails of 100 people, how many of those emails will Silk be able to find and display to me?

While I agree that the current price of $600 is too high, the pricing strategy is interesting in the context of a single designer with a limited supply of logos. Some commenters here may have missed the "about" text: "Rather than wait for projects to come my way, I put myself to work: design 50 logos. " So you have 50 logos, and you want to get maximum total revenue for them. As supply...
