Build Slack capture
RegretA real decision from building Decize, written down before the outcome.
- The decision
- Build a Slack slash-command handler so decisions could be captured without leaving chat.
- Why, at the time
- Slack is where the discussion already happens, and asking people to open another tab is how decision tools die.
- What happened
- The handler was built and never given a way for anyone to actually install it. Zero installations exist. It was removed from every piece of marketing on 4 September, two months after it was written.
- Lesson
- An integration nobody can turn on is not a feature. Ship the entry point or do not ship the integration.
