I can't wait to play! I wonder how it will feel for launching off points for Tweetstorms.

•on: Show HN: Self-Quarantine Book Club

I did look at Discord pretty hard and even set it all up for this community. But in the end I decided that enough of my existing network, friends, etc. have Slack on their devices to keep it simple to begin. Also, there's just enough of a download/learning gap that I didn't want to risk. It appears that if we want we could transition to Discord later, but I don't have any experience doing that. Have you seen people get stuck on the wrong tool and be unable to transition?

well, the discord community is quite big. it depends entirely on the kind of folks you want to attract. you are right - if its the office going devs, management folks then slack maybe the right way to do it. although we have a slack at workplace but the gamers in the office we use a Discord server. so far has been easier to pull in folks there since the context is preset - you are joining because you are working full time and like playing games (namely Factorio for now)

Self-Quarantine Book Club is a community on Slack where book lovers around the world come together to discuss what they’re reading.

Each book has its own Slack channel, so it’s easy to find other readers, share thoughts and questions, or just sit back and follow the conversation.

As of today we're opening it up for more people to join.

Are these categories broken out by revenue/profit anywhere? Do quarterly earnings breakouts map to these buckets?

•on: Tweet a GIF simply with @blippybot

We made BlippyBot as hack project to make our Tweets more fun. It's really simple to use. Mention the bot (@blippybot) and a query term (excited) in your tweet. BlippyBot posts a relevant GIF. Hilarity ensues! :)

You can try it out without even connecting your Twitter account, but it works best when you're connected so that the GIF flows naturally from you in the conversation.
