Hah, hey mate! Just walking by the office on George St.

You’re totally right. This is pretty much “Forge as a Service” for others to use in their products as well :) In fact, we propably wouldn’t have build it (again) if we could have used Forge. I’m glad we did though, as it suits us actually much better, e.g. by being completely deployless.

I'm still very sore with Atlassian for their decision to close down Hipchat. Maybe Slack was beating Hipchat in the popularity stakes, but I spent a huge amount of time at a previous job building integrations (or whatever they were called) which would, for instance, allow colleagues to setup a new client project (Google Drive directories and files, Assembla project management stuff, Trello tracking for the project etc, etc) with a simple `/build project-name client-name` comment in a Hipchat room and then, one day ... all of it gone!

I really wish the devs of this new shiny the best with their endeavours ... but that wound still smarts!
