Hi!
Emily O'Brien
Awesome idea!

Nice! Is this only for groups where you are the admin of? Needs admin to install right?

@tony_nielsen Hey Tony, yeah that's right. Currently it's for admins to create newsletters. Would you mind explaining a bit more about the use case you have in mind? Thanks!

@shylands Hi Steven, I was curious if I was able to distill other Slack groups I'm in down to the top posts when I'm not the moderator. For example I'm currently in 7 Slack groups but only one of which as an admin.

@tony_nielsen Unfortunately I'm unsure of how you could do this without access to install and setup apps within the Slack. You'd need permission to pull these data out. In future we may look at a way for Slack members to create their own notifications from Slack but the admin would need to install Lowdown and offer this to their Slack members.

I just saw an example post for one of the communities I participate it and holy moly it's *awesome* ... love it! Any plans to support discord?

@temirlan Hey Tim, sorry just saw this thank you! We're keeping an open mind to other platforms for future - but in the near term we're focused on Slack unfortunately.

Sweet tool! Does this have a RSS-style feed or even a dedicated way to get the highlights to catch up? (Like Mailchimp has a way to view all archives)
