Authentication improvement needed
The tool itself is very useful and enables users to catch up on the discussion after being logged off for awhile. Unfortunately you need an ID and password for each channel you want to monitor hitch is cumbersome and antiquated considering its 2016. Based on that issue I uninstalled Slack and will use other tools. You can decide for yourself if you feel the headache of managing multiple IDs and passwords is enough to warrant tool use.
