Hi all! I'm Yousef and creator of SlackScreen. Thanks @milann for hunting!
I built it as a cooler visualization for Slack more suitable for large screens / projectors. Mainly so you can show a specific channel (e.g. announcements) or an interesting public slack on office displays, but as @milann pointed out I think it would also be great for events.
I'm very excited about how Slack evolves as a platform. This was my first swing at their API and it was quite a breeze to integrate (your browser connects directly to Slack via websockets so messages don't need to pass our servers).
Since Slack is being used in so many different ways I really look forward to hearing your ideas for SlackScreen - just give it a try!
I'd love to hear your feedback and will be right here to answer any questions,
This is pretty neat and cool, made by Amsterdam / Startup Delta colleague @YousefED. I can imagine this for conferences, public beta slack channels or communities of people (on and offline) to be presented on a big screen somewhere.
Here's an example of Slack at a conference: http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/1...
