slack-notify: CLI for sending messages on Slack about ideas HOT 10 CLOSED

Thanks a lot for this idea..
I had a spare evening so I made this package: https://github.com/twobucks/slack-message
If you have any suggestions how to improve it just ping me 👍

I wrote a couple of words about the initiative here https://medium.com/@mikaelbrevik/open-source-ideas-initiative-ca747121ac34#.fdufq2v0b

👊 💪 That is fantastic. Great to see an idea get made that quickly and even before I "announce" the initiative! I'll test it out over the weekend.

Some suggestions from the top of my head:

• It might be smart to include a files property in your package.json so the consumers don't have do download your tests and what not. Saving some space and unnecessary download time.
• Maybe include an example Travis CI usage for instance? So users can see what it can be used for. This could also be a part of the README, for instance.

Thanks for reporting back to the repo with your implemented solution. I hope if you get any ideas of your own that you don't have time for, or you find time to do another you come back. And if you liked this concept, please help me share it when i "launch" it. I think maybe the best time to launch something to get traction is on week days, so I'll wait until over the weekend to release it unto the world.

You made good points, will hack on it a bit more tomorrow.

Thanks for the idea, Mikael. We've polished the package over the weekend.

Love the idea behind this repo, much better alternative than keeping ideas in Evernote notes and letting them be forgotten. I'll post some of my ideas soon.

We'll do our best to share it as much as we can when you launch it.

That sounds great, @shime! I think for this initiative to work we need to keep the input flow as high as or higher than the output, so we need all ideas we can get 😃

I'm planning on releasing it maybe tonight (Monday Night in GMT Timezone), what do you think?

Thanks, I was thinking of sharing all the ideas, but maybe that would be perceived as too spammy.

I'm not really the one who should give advice about this, but here goes.

I would look for the overlap of EU/US times for releasing it, so maybe 2PM GMT would work. Early morning in US and not too late in the evening for EU.
