Giving Slack App development a go, need a few testers

I've been building a few Slack apps and need some testers.

I don't want to advertise, so I won't drop any links, but Slack requires 5+ workspaces to install and try an app before you can submit it for review, and this if for each app. I've got three apps which:

- DMs your team a few questions on a schedule, collects the answers, and posts a clean digest to your channel instead of everyone hopping on a call

- randomly (but fairly) assigns a code reviewer from your team so you're not always pinging a channel or leaning on the same two people

- react to any message with an emoji and it translates it right there in the thread

We actually do all three of these manually at my current company, as someone chases standup updates, eyeballs who's free to review, or copy-pastes translations, so I started automating them one by one and figured other teams probably deal with the same stuff. Who knows, might keep improving on these as I go.

If any of them are useful to you and you're up for testing, message me and I'll send the link. If testing's not your thing, I'd still be curious whether any of these would actually help your team, or if you've already got this stuff handled.

Thanks!
