I recently started a new job, and wrote a quick script that scrapes a slack team for all the names and profile photos and creates an Anki deck out of it. I'm usually terrible with names and faces so this helped me immensely.
- Nadya 8y agoDo you mind sharing the script? Because the company I work for has grown at an insane rate - and there are a good 300+ coworkers I don't know. It'd be nice to know peoples' faces for when I see them walking around the building.
- patrickdavey 8y agoHah! I used the Meetup.com API for the same reason. Super annoying that lots of people use avatars though right ;) I also do this for friends and the ever growing list of baby names that I can't keep track of.
- philsnow 8y agoSome people's Slack avatars are dogs, pictures of two or more people, etc, so I'm overtraining a lot but overall it's positive.
