Good idea.

I hope you find users for it, but I wouldn't know where to start looking. Maybe people who are already liveblogging.

There are also these public Slack channels from open-source projects and whatever. Maybe these people will be interested in having a public channel instead of asking every single visitor to create an account and possibly spam the network.

On the Stellar (the crypto-network) public Slack channel, for example, they were having a lot of problems with scammers and thinking about making the channel private, that would make it inaccessible for any interested casual visitor, a problem that your tool could solve.

Thanks for the thoughts. I plan to start talking to journalists who cover breaking news and live events.

And any organization that uses Slack but wants to publish content one way.
