Decision Ledger for Slack threads

Turn scattered Slack decisions into a searchable, accountable record

Problem

Remote teams make dozens of critical decisions in Slack threads every day, and a month later they are buried under new messages with no one remembering why the call was made. One team even built a tool for this but got stuck on the Slack App Directory's '10 active workspaces' listing rule, blocking small builders from distribution entirely.

Solution

A lightweight Slack app that turns any message into a 'decision card' with background, options, conclusion and owner auto-extracted, saved into a team-searchable decision library. Filter by project, time or owner, and link back to the original thread. Bypass the official directory with private install links and self-hosting.

Users

Remote/hybrid teams of 10–200, engineering and product leads, consultancies and agencies that need an audit trail

MVP

Slack shortcut to convert a message into a decision card; auto-summarize background/conclusion/owner; keyword search and tags in the library; link back to source thread; CSV/JSON export

Revenue

Per-workspace subscription ($19–49/month), first two workspaces free; self-hosted lifetime license for enterprise

Why now

Decision logging is a durable need, and the directory gate keeps big players from covering the long tail; private installs and self-hosting let an indie dev serve niche teams cheaply
