Slangouts

Slack up front, Hangouts in the rear.

Why?

I use Slack daily at work, and lots of friends/family were using Hangouts. Didnt want to keep both open so Slangouts came to the rescue. It acts as a bridge between the 2 keeping them in sync while it runs. This means people talk to you in Hangouts, and you can reply on Slack and vice versa.

Configuration

First time your run Slangouts, it 'll ask you for access to both your Slack and Hangout accounts. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the configuration.

Usage

You can download slangouts or build it yourself. Pre-built binaries are provided:

# see all available switches
./slangouts help

# run with default settings
./slangouts

# pass parameters
./slangouts --config ~/.slangouts/config.json --poll 10

Building/Cross Compiling

Below is mostly for me to keep handy for compiling for my Pi and other platforms. Might be useful to other people too.

# pull cross-compile toolchain
docker pull golang:1.4.2-cross
