AcknowledgedBot, created in golang, for Slack. @acknowledgedbot

Go Acknowledged Bot

Let your Slack messages be heard and acknowledged.

A reacreation of AcknowledgedBot, built in Go and for Slack.

Problem/Proposal

Go-Ack plans to solve the problem of lack of accountability in team chats and groups. Often messages can be missed or read over, but go-ack is the Slack tool to minimize that.

Vision/Usage

Users can add @ack to any group, and when a member wants to create an important message, call ack with the following command.

@AcknowledgedBot [required message]

The output will be:

[...message contents]

| Not Acknowledged:
| @wenzel @bob [...other users]
|
| [Acknowledge]
