This is cool!

I built a similar open-source thing a few months ago which pulls in a lot more information and you can even control things on the store through Slack commands: https://appstoreslackbot.com

Currently, it only works for iOS and is pull-based.

This is amazing!! Congrats on putting together all that functionality!

How many users are using that service? How come you decided to make it 100% free?

Your website is beautiful btw! I thought about building my tool as a Slack bot but thought that then it would be too limited to only Slack. I intend to add other types of workflows in the future, such as webhooks (to trigger special workflows in your CI) and a RSS feed :)

I'd love to connect with you if you wanna work together on something! t.me/rogerluan

We have around 10 users right now since we haven't marketed it too much. But would love to spread the word around.

We built this in about a week as it mostly piggybacks on a critical piece of infrastructure behind https://www.tramline.app, and hence kind of runs by itself.

So we didn't really care for adding pricing to it. Tramline is what we _really_ build :)

The service itself just currently happens to respond primarily as a Slackbot, but that's just an implementation detail and can be tweaked.

Would love to connect, let me ping you on telegram!

I checked Tramline and it sounds like a great tool! It definitely deserves more attention!
