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.

Every entry in this ledger is real and was checked against the commit or migration that carries it. Want to keep your own this way? Start with the free decision log template.

Keep the record without the ritual

Forward the email. Keep the decision.
