Does anyone know how you can apply for a Slack Fund grant? I'd love to create a Browserling integration. Browserling (www.browserling.com) is a live interactive cross-browser testing service and this integration would let you embed a live browser directly in Slack. Use case: Let's say a user reports a bug in IE10 on Windows 7 in your webapp. You just use `/browserling windows7 ie10 URL` command in Slack and that will embed a real interactive IE 10 on Win7 that runs your webapp at `URL` directly in Slack.

I would use this. And I'm going to check out browserling now, too. This looks really useful.

  Great! I'll build it. We've already built all the necessary pieces. 1. We've browser sharing scheme: www.browserling.com/browse/Platform/PlatfomVersion/Browser/BrowserVersion/URL For example: www.browserling.com/browse/win/vista/ie/9/news.ycombinator.com (Loads Hacker News in IE 9 on Windows Vista) 2. We've Live API (https://www.browserling.com/api https://www.browserling.com/api) that hundreds of people use and that let you already embed real browsers in your webapps. Combining these gives you great super powers.

  Have you or anyone you know gotten a response? Do you know what exactly you should send them?

Can you give me a pitch why I'd use Browserling instead of Browserstack?

  We're the first company to offer live interactive testing starting 2010. We're mad open source fans and have open sourced hundreds of libraries including browserify, dnode, node-png, and many others (http://www.catonmat.net/blog/browserling-open-sources-90-node-modules/ http://www.catonmat.net/blog/browserling-open-sources-90-nod...). We're constantly inventing new things (http://www.catonmat.net/blog/top-10-browserling-inventions/ http://www.catonmat.net/blog/top-10-browserling-inventions/). We're a small and enthusiastic team, so we can quickly respond and adapt to our customer needs. Zero inbox, quick response times is how we roll. Our customers love us and we love them. I give my phone number (415-423-1954) to everyone. Call me at night to chat about yesterday's football game or to yell at me that IE6 doesn't work on XP. And finally we love to have fun at Browserling and we started our own nerdy webcomic about web developers and browsers https://lol.browserling.com https://lol.browserling.com.
