Hi! We’ve just launched Slack's App Directory with 150+ apps all designed to make your team more productive: https://slack.com/apps
We also launched a new slash command to help you easily find the right apps for you. Try "/apps cats" from your own Slack team to get app results that match "cats" (or any other keyword) sent right into your channel.
We're super excited about all of the great things people are building on the Slack platform. Of course, we want your apps to be discovered by other teams on Slack, so we've greatly simplified the process for submitting them to the directory. If you're building things on Slack, read up on these tips and learn how to submit them to the new directory here: https://api.slack.com/slack-apps We'll be adding new apps to the directory every day.
If you're not a developer, we're also interested in hearing your feedback on the App Directory in general. What apps do you think are missing, what would you like to see added to the directory in the future, etc. We'll be responding to comments here throughout the day.

@buster So awesome, congrats on the rollout. What do you anticipate the typical timeline being from submission to approved listing on the directory?

@stevecaldwell If your installation instructions are clear, you're asking for a reasonable set of permissions, you have good links to support and privacy, and it's easy to understand how your app works once you install it, it could take as little as a day. Since this is all still new we're often asking for a bit of extra info about apps and that requires some back and forth. But so far it's not taking not more than a week in almost all cases.

@buster we just launched our wellness bot for slack on producthunt - https://www.producthunt.com/post... . Would love your thoughts on it. We believe sitting is becoming the new smoking. Our bot creates healthy habits in users with timely, contextual mini-interventions. Would also like to see if we can get featured as one of the new apps on the app landing page :D
