Hi Product Hunt community!
We are very excited to share with you Hush. It's a native Slack app that allows anyone on your team to share secrets securely and easily. The concept for the app actually came from our team's own need to share API keys and do so securely. We looked everywhere for a solution that was built right into Slack and could not find one. There needed to be a better way, so we built one.
Hush is built with these fundamental pillars:
- security
- simplicity
- ease of use
To encrypt a secret just type "/hush secret" in your channel. It's that simple!
We'd love to hear your feedback and comments. What are we missing? What can we do better? We'll be responding to comments here throughout the day.
Having run my own startup and now being part of a large organization I always found it difficult to share sensitive information through Slack. Sure there was onetimesecret.com but that solution was never integrated into Slack. With Hush I love having a dedicated Slack bot that allows me to easily share sensitive information with my teammates in one single command.
It gives me peace of mind knowing that I can share any corporate information via Hush and the secrets are deleted within a given timeframe.
Hush was really simple to get and up and running. I was using privnote for a while now, but wanted something very fast and easy within Slack. Are you worried Slack will release something similar?
Our Infosec team was constantly complaining that devs share secrets in Slack in plainsight and we actually wanted to build something similar internally. Thanks for making it available.
