Hear from our users*

"SlackerNews satisfies my desire to waste my time clicking interesting links, but it helps me be better at my job at the same time."

Everyone

Your Company

"When I get tired of reading Reddit and HackerNews, I swing on over to my company's SlackerNews and catch up on design docs, customer issues, tickets, pull requests, draft blog posts."

Larry Hamilton

Sr. NextGen JS Framework Architect II

"I love SlackerNews. You know why? Well, Slack is just a bunch of blah, blah, blah conversational masturbation. Stop chatting at me and just send me the GD doc. SlackerNews is like mainlining pure institutional knowledge straight into your veins. Fuck yea!"

Jimmy McNulty

Head of Little Baggy Design

"The short nature of SlackerNews links and stories is a once in an epoch type platform shift that will forever change the ICMI (Internal Company Media Industry) as we know it."
