Thank you for the answer!

> Axolo helps to unstuck dangling pull requests in centralizing notifications in one place and let them be top of mind as a "to-do list" in your Slack.

That's an interesting perspective: Slack as the preferred workspace for developers, vs. the platform they use for code management. I wonder how that squares with GitHub and GitLab's shift towards owning the full lifecycle of code -- "DevOps platform", "a single application for unparalleled collaboration, visibility, and development velocity".

Personally, I'd rather spend less time in Slack and more time in GitHub and so it sounds like that's where the mismatch lies for me and my team. That said, good luck, as a solution for people who want to stay in Slack it seems great and I'm sure there's a lot of people like that! :-)

Thanks for this topic! As we're only working on Github for now, I can't speak for Gitlab. The shift for a code management tool to become a collaboration tool is a giant step. Embedding the only information regarding interactions around code reviews in Slack was a small step to centralize everything in one place.

And one thing we're sure is that our current users are Slack lovers - if you're trying to spend less time in Slack, I'm 100% convinced that Axolo is not right for you!
