Comment on Slack Acquires Screenhero (YC W13)

Comments

We're big users of both Slack + Screenhero at Thinkful for our students communicating with each other in real time (Slack) and pair programming with mentors (Screenhero). We were even spec'ing a feature to make Screenhero the only tool for mentor sessions. Congrats to the Screenhero team – you built a great product and deserve this, but it's sad we'll have to switch to another product. We can't wait months to have something available, and it's not clear the new features will do what we need :/

Yeah, congrats to both teams. I agree wholeheartedly with Dan's comment; I love each of your products separately and look forward to playing with the integration down the road, but I'm disappointed to lose the existing Screenhero now.

according to @tptacek, you might be fine:

There already is a Screenhero integration for Slack. If you pay for Slack, you can set it up in like 3 minutes, from slack.com/screenhero.
