Hey Product Hunters! I would like to intro Slakster.
It allows you to easily collect all the email addresses of the users in your Slack groups.
Slack already shows email addresses within each user’s profile, Slakster simply extracts them into a CSV file for you to download via a Chrome extension. A simple tool to save time.
It’s the responsibility of the Slack group admin to protect the email addresses of their group, and it is up to the user to abide by their associated Slack group guidelines. Slakster is not created by, affiliated with, or supported by Slack Technologies, Inc. Please use Slakster responsibly. With that being said….
It took us some back and forth before deciding to post Slakster due to it’s controversial use. I even asked a friend to post it for us since their PH profile was far more developed than mine and they told me they decided not to because of the possible effect that it could have on their reputation. I completely understand this, however, once you have a decision like this to make it wears on you. Ultimately we decided to let it post.
Why?
1. We would always be curious what would have happened if we didn’t post it. We know some people will despise us and others praise us...controversy is interesting and a part of doing something different.
2. There are many prospecting tools for discovering emails by extracting them from hidden sources (Ex. LinkedIn), but Slack already displays your email, so if you wanted someone’s email you already could get it anyways.
3. Because, Slack has ignored the request to hide users email addresses since 2014. https://twitter.com/ZacCoffman/s...
With all that being said, I present you with Slakster.
