Awesome. Looks like a more evolved pongbot (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...) which we are a big fan of at the @naritiv office. Will definitely try it out when it's ready.

@goeric Yep, and it looks awesome! Pongbot was a quick two-day project, and I love improved ideas. :)
Marko
Great job guys, love it!

Kind of funny... I just wrote a ping pong slack bot for our office a few weeks ago. It's cool to see someone else with the same "problem". The aesthetic and overall UX of yours is so much better than what I whipped together (really just an API). I'm curious -- what did you decide to use for the score algorithm?

@kicksopenminds we decided to go with the ELO score, since it's been used for a long time and it's weighted :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El...

@mihar @benjennin_gs Any update on availability? My team is chomping at the bit with undocumented games :).

Love it! Can't wait to see it for our Startup Coworking community. We hold tournaments and use slack!

As if we need to spend more time in Slack being 'un-productive' haha

This is cool. Really curious to see how Slack bots/integrations will introduce and evolve workplace gamification. It's a big challenge to provide a great experience while being constricted to a text-centric interface and office culture. Great job!

@yoavanaki exactly. We gamify "thanks" and 👍-type emojis to produce a leaderboard of the most helpful team members.

@yoavanaki we've been using Pinpon at Coinbase for over a year and it has organically grown by itself and helped create an even more fun culture of pingpong.

I think we need more confetti.

I love ping pong, and therefore love this. Is this a side project, learning project, or stepping stone to something bigger?

@rometty_ we'd like to see as many people using this as possible. We'll see :)

Fun! People are commenting on workplace gamification, but I actually believe things like this will allow Slack to appeal better to new audiences beyond work/tech people socializing.

awesome, definitely a must have for any start-up, missing a twitch integration that live streams the ping pong match though
Andrea Hill
Huh! Love the lil balls. The 3rd place guy looks a lot like Martin over at http://Martin.ai!
Seth Williams
Cannot wait to use this in our office! And the design is beautiful! Thanks for making something we've wished was available!

Great looking site! I'm always a bit weary of animations and moving elements but you guys really nailed it.
