A minimalist, open source, GitHub + Slack integration demo

[gr2m]

Hey there!

I'm working at GitHub and am currently supporting the team working on GitHub's official Slack integration: https://slack.github.com/.

In order to better understand how a Slack app is working and what best practices there are that we should follow, I created a minimal application which implements a tiny subset of the official integration: subscribing to issues in repositories. I also invited folks from Slack to help us figure out, document, and implement all the best practices that they recommend their integrators to follow, and I did the same for GitHub's side.

You can find the source code at:
https://github.com/gr2m/github-app-slack-demo/

I'd love you to try the app and report back how it works for you:
https://github-app-slack-demo.netlify.app/

Please feel free to file issues and pull requests to the repository.

I think the repository would also serve as a starting point if you ever want to build your own custom integration with functionality that the official slack integration does not support.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
