Thanks for the hunt @abadesi! YAC was a blast to create over the last 2 weeks, and we were super stoked to see it win the Remote Workers category in Makers Festival 2018. Please hit us up with any unique ways you're using the app and of course hammer us with feedback.
I remember only a few weeks ago we were discussing building this on our Slack, and now it's a winner. Products, they grow up so fast :')
And now I won't stop bothering @itsthisjustin with questions, ever! #TeamSF

@parasharanmol Glad to have you be a part of our team man!
A few thoughts trying to install and run it.
A bit more of a demo screencast or something on the site would be great.
After installing it, I could find no way of quitting it. The icon showed up in the toolbar and I set up a username, saved it but that screen just wouldn't go away? Is the profile photo also required? Is that why I couldn't seem to do anything else?
I had to quit the program using Activity Monitor.
There are no contextual menu options on the toolbar icon.
Overall, I just have no idea what to expect for the app. What does it do exactly?

@twalling yes profile photo is required. After that quit is a context option from settings.
@itsthisjustin added photo and screen is still stuck on setup, no settings or contextual menu, happy to connect off of here if you want to debug any of this further

@twalling There's a known issue with photos that might a bit big. I had that happen on a high res photo. It'll eventually upload but if you don't want to wait, just use a smaller lower res image. On the list of things to fix!

Heads up everyone! Looks like we got the PH hug of death. Stand by for a server increase! Getting things back online now.

New version just uploaded to the site. If you're on the older version, it'll still work but it's recommended you update.
Well just that will wait for more updates to see if I can make it work. But the idea is great, I always think how Slack doesn't have a feature like this already!
Pros:
looks easy to use
Cons:
doesn't work, I get the "Connecting.." and it dies there
