We've been using Lowdown with a 150 person Slack. Love receiving the Lowdown from Lowdown in my inbox it highlights the stuff that got buried or forgotten about. Really pleased to see the schedule feature and to nudge members. Congratulations + can't wait for the personal digest.

I seen the first version of Lowdown and thought it was super interesting, and I've been meaning to get a trial for my team for a while — but with the forced shift to fully remote due to the global pandemic, the amount of Slack activity in our place has increased tenfold. More channels, more stuff to check, more important info being posted into channels I'm not always in (or even want to be in) I'm genuinely concerned i'm going to miss stuff day to day now. Gonna give this a go. Nice work @shylands @philmclure
