Show HN: I built a Slack bot to answer the question who owns what
Hi, I built a slack bot called "whoowns". It helps remote distributed teams by answering the question who owns what straight where collaboration happens; in slack.
I've worked in a remote distributed team for 3 years and grew frustrated after so many re-orgs, people moving between teams, team name changes.. you name it!
it gets confusing knowing who owns what -- which for one makes for a less ideal oncall and often evolves into a ping pong of slack messages.
So! its free and asks for the most minimal data access that I could get down to:
some questions it can answer all in 1 place
- Who's oncall for this service?
- Which team owns X?
- I cant find which team owns X - oh its called by the another term.
- What channel should I go to to ask a question?
- What is service X?
- Where can I find the link to the runbooks?
next features i plan on working on
- connect a notion table (for those who's org chart is saved there)
- list repositories without codeowners
- search mono-repositories that are owned by multiple team owners
- list services without active oncall schedules
- and more..
thoughts? have other ideas of what you'd like to see?
