Congrats on the PH launch! Have been following @mitali and @sseong for awhile now as they innovate on how we can all utilize our networks and soft connections better. Will be rooting for them as they grow. Already have Intro installed in the intermittent fasting slack I run called @wefastclub / www.wefa.st, where we have 300+ ppl talking about fasting and other biohacks. Seems like it'll be a useful tool to help people get to know each other better.

This is awesome! Great UX and flow. Puts serious shade on LinkedIn which seems to have survived into 2016 with a Craigslist-type UI and functionality ;-)

@bentossell @mitali Thanks Ben! We have a couple of easter eggs in /intro command too :)

Hello Product Hunters - thanks for all the love you have shown us today 🙏 A quick update: since we launched on PH this morning we have already had 200 Slack teams sign up! And we're still going. Teams range from large companies, to startups, to great community Slacks in US, Europe and Asia. We're trying our best to keep up!

Congrats @Mittali! what was the hardest tradeoff/decision you had to make when building this product?
Mitali Pattnaik
@eriktorenberg @mitali Thanks Erik for building this amazing community for products! Hardest thing for us has been knowing how much is enough? We originally started building a full intro making app, and had intended to connect the introduction making flow (tracking intro requests, single and double opt in) to this app before launching. But we decided not to wait and to get the product out there first, get people using it and come back to intro making workflow later.

I've been playing with the Intro product for a little while now in a couple different Slack groups and have really enjoyed it - super useful for looking up people in the group and making connections. Great to see it out in the public recently and on PH today!

Great idea who's time has come--unfortunately we've seen LinkedIn lose its value from what it once was with the crazy recommendations to the increased amount of non professional content being posted. Your tool allow this to happen cutting thru all the noise and chatter of its big brother

@workstationw thanks Bill! we couldn't agree more about the noise level on LI.
