Hey, HN!

Slack has recently released its Home Tab (https://api.slack.com/surfaces/tabs). Basically, it's a dedicated page within the Slack app where your bot can build a pretty advanced UI (way beyond basic messages).

While implementing the Home Tab for our main product, I realized that - Hey! This could be a perfect place for all my TODOs to live. I'm part of Apple, Google and a bit of Linux ecosystems and there aren't too many apps that I use consistently across the board. Slack is one of them and I often just DM myself to store a quick note or TODO that I can later view somewhere else. Why can't there be a bot for that?

Said - Done! I and the team hacked together the ToDoBot in 3 days and published it in the Slack store for everyone to use for free. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Seems pretty slick. I am going to give it a try. My work life revolves around slack reminders, todoist, and trying to use vim-orgmode but this looks worth a try, thanks!
