Slack Meets The Coding Love

Any Coding Love fans out there? For those who don't know it yet, it's basically a website that contains coding-related GIFs for all kinds of situations. They have a large community and everyone is welcome to submit posts.

In my team we use Slack to communicate, and as I'm sure some of you do too, we send quite a lot of GIFs in a daily basis. The only thing missing was a Slack app that integrates with TheCodingLove to allow us to search through their database to find the right GIF. Until now...

As a side project I started playing around with Slack and learning about their API, so I created a simple app that lets you search for a phrase, shuffle the results and post the final image on the channel you are on. The app is fully reviewed and approved by Slack already and I'm looking for some initial feedback from you guys, all you have to do is install it on your workspace and give it a go!

Here's the app in the directory - https://slack.com/apps/AFNEWBNFN. Let me know what you think! We are using it at work quite a lot already ;)
