Would you buy a Slack app template?
I've launched 2 Slack apps (uppit.io, allybot.io) and am thinking about launching a few more. There are some must-do things that I've learnt, including:
- Common gotchas for the Slack review process
- What scopes to ask for (yes, you should probably capture emails!)
- Basic code management/structure
- Various security things
- How to manage oauth, onboarding and the "App Home" tab
I feel like I'm getting to the point where I have a pretty refined node.js boilerplate that can rapidly accelerate the launch of a Slack app - for example, I built allybot.io in a few days, and had it accepted instantly on the Slack app directory.
I'm wondering - if you were building a Slack app today, would you find value in a proven, robust Slack app template? I'd love to learn about your process!

Hey Tom! Im thinking of building a Slack app, but am quite amateurish. I was wondering if you could point me to some good starting resources? Also, do you think I could build the MVP using no-code platforms like Bubble and still make it worthwhile for companies to pay for it?
Yes, very interesting. When you have a list of what will be included, mockups, and some key outcomes that users can achieve with it, please share.
