OnlyThreads

slack.com

A few years ago, we built a small slack bot called OnlyThreads to solve our own pain: Slack chaos. Too many chats. Hard to find decisions. Impossible to turn Slack into something organized. So we made a bot that does 4 things: Makes channels thread-only Lets you close any thread with a clear conclusion Detects duplicate discussions before they happen Makes past threads and decisions easily searchable That’s it. We threw it on the Slack App Marketplace, didn’t touch it much after launch… and somehow it’s been slowly growing on its own. Where it stands now: $1.2K MRR 8% annual churn 100% of growth comes from people finding us on the Slack Marketplace We’ve never done any real marketing or outreach We know the product helps, teams that install it stick around. We even have some pretty big names using it now, which honestly shocked me especially since we’ve done zero marketing. I’m posting this because I feel stuck on the growth side. It’s stable, but I’ve never figured out how to promote it effectively outside the Marketplace. If you’ve got ideas, feedback, or want to ask anything about building/distributing Slack bots, happy to share more. Here’s the link to the bot: https://slack...
