It asks you to sign in and auth your Google account after sharing a docs link. So you give them permissions. If you don’t want this behavior you can revoke Slack’s access.

I'd love to see electric scooter / e-bike companies also adopt this technology too. My scooter has a 550Whr battery and I'd love to use it as a power station for some of my devices on the go.

What sort of groups do you organize? I've been working on an app inspired by challenges I had organizing hack nights and poker games. It's kind of a cross between Facebook events and Google Calendar, and allows you to send an invi

The WashPo paywall is the worst -- it rewrites your address bar so you can't even bookmark the URL for later or copy/paste it to share. Really frustrating on mobile when you can be in an app that's not logged into WashPo. Why

Good point. The amount of downtime definitely depends on local market conditions. For instance if you go online at 3AM in Tracy, CA, you might have way lower utilization than someone at 6pm in downtown San Francisco. I see your point about
