Hi Mary Thanks for hunting Lurchr! I am Stefano from Founders, the Copenhagen-based startup studio where we created Lurchr. For a long time we have had the problem of managing all the information shared in our Slack team. People share interesting links and content but the ephemeral nature of Slack makes them disappear in a moment. You know the drill: a link is shared, then someone asks a question, someone else posts a gif, etc. It’s impossible to actually keep track of information that is not meant to be dealt with in the moment. The person sharing will never get attention on their link, the one (who is supposed to be) reading it will likely miss something that might have been important. Lurchr works on both sides of this problem. For the person posting the link, it allows creating stickiness into something otherwise ephemeral. For the reader, it provides a place where finding everything that has been shared and consuming it on their own time. Our hope is that saving and displaying links in a separate place will ultimately kill FOMO and allow people to regain focus at work. On the tech side, once the bot is added it searches through public channels (you can exclude as many as you want) grabs all links, enriches it and shows them on your Lurchr team site. The interface is similar to feedly, where you can quickly see in which channels you have unread links and check out if they are interesting. Just let us know if you have any question. Would love to hear your feedback! (you can read more about lurchr here https://medium.com/the-founders-...)
