Chip — Easily raise money for charity using Slack

Hey there! Brock here from Josephmark – a digital product studio with offices in Brisbane, Los Angeles, Stockholm and Sydney. Our goal with Chip was to create a simple and effective Slack app to enable anyone in an office space to easily raise money for charity. Users can just type /chip into Slack and start chipping in. The idea stemmed from a niggling need for this app within our own team, so we knew we’d dig it when it was done. Do you, though? We’d love to know what you think.

Disclaimer - I work at Josephmark. However, we tested it at the JM office and it caught on well and worked an absolute treat.

Pros:

Simple, quick and easy so people can flick donations without breaking focus/flow at work too much, which is ideal. Wish I'd had Chip sooner!

Cons:

I wish Slack was able to facilitate drop-down menus.
