High speed publishing from Slack to Wagtail

Primary LanguagePython

Wagtail Live

This was my inspiration for high speed publishing:

https://nos.nl/liveblog/2274672-historische-zege-ajax-in-bernabeu-1-4-voor-het-eerst-sinds-2003-bij-laatste-acht.html

but it could have been faster and more fun, with Wagtail and Slack!
