Hi! Ernesto from Slackline here :)
We created a #product-talk channel for you to try slackline for free and talk with other Product Hunters: http://slackline.io/shared_chann...
Drop by and say hi!
@gillianim did you select the channel you want to connect in the outgoing webhook form?
We'll get rid of outgoing webhook setup as soon as the Slack API allows us to :)
@ernesto_jimenez figured it out but too much noise in the chat for me right now. Cool tool though and I can imagine using this with other clients/teams! Thanks.
@toddba do let us know if you have any comments or feedback! :)

My team and I have spun up a number of these shared channels over the past couple of months. After using in the wild, I truly believe this is a key piece of the Slack experience that was missing.
I wrote a few more thoughts about my views and how it works (for us), here: http://goo.gl/XnWpEu -- Hopefully Ernesto and Blanca from Slackline will jump into the comments later today!
It's been awesome watching the founders our fund has backed use this -- and thanks @ernesto_jimenez for making it, and @strickland_dan for making it live.
You should change the name before Slack's trademark lawyers make you do it. Despite the disclaimers, there's a pretty clear case of trademark infringement here (though I am not a lawyer).
@johnsheehan we've been in touch with Slack from day one to make sure they are OK with everything we are doing, provide feedback on their APIs, etc. They've even told some of their customers about us.
@ernesto_jimenez Ask them for a trademark release :) Twitter used to do that for platform apps too. Eventually they get big enough they have to enforce it.
@gregcohn we would love to limit the permissions but we need Slack to offer narrower scopes before.
In the meantime, our T&C's and Privacy Policy only allow us to acces the data we need to provide you with the service.
