Mobile

Something that we could build sooner than later that would add value is a mobile app for an agent that we would create to help people keep track of what conversations they may have missed or direct or indirect messaging, solving the problem that I have heard over and over "I don't have time to watch Slack all day".

Ideally this would be done through a mobile app since if people are already ignoring slack and this would give us more control over the interface instead of building some slack blocks app or whatever the equiv. for Discord might be, and then kind of furthering this point that we might need a mobile app, I think the other messaging services dont have any SDK for building apps thats similar to the Slack Blocks UI.

I don't think we need to throw the MVP label on this yet, something we should discuss more probably before we dive into it.

Are these slack blocks app only accessible through the slack app? Just curious.

And yah, the idea for a mobile app that acts as a central source for aggregating all missed/imp conversations and notifying user through a single channel sounds good. Definitely reduces some overload of checking through multiple apps quickly.

Also I wonder if this idea could benefit more from being an desktop app or both? But I guess that's something we could discuss later once we finalize if we need this implemented as an app in the first place.

Are there any other examples of apps doing this already?

Good question.. if its easy enough to do, maybe its a good idea. Like if we used flutter and it created both, we could sort of look at what gets used the most or enough to keep investing our time in.
