First, I was surprised how easy it is to install and run. Second, not having to manager servers and services - that is gold. Third - Sure, there were earlier attempts from other developers to run shell commands from Slack - but security was an issue. NC's security feature feels like another major win. Fourth, this seems to me like a good way to control various services from a single place - have to check this feature out more. If the promise holds out then I dont have to depend on other services to enable control from within Slack - NC will do it for me. I have a few other questions about whether others in the Slack channel can see the results, etc. Will explore further, but this promises to be a neat tool to be productive.
