slackinviter

This is a slackin clone written in Go because... Node.js bloat and Go is much nicer :-)

Install or update with go get -u github.com/flexd/slackinviter. Run slackinviter with -h for help, it just takes recaptcha secret + sitekey + slack api token as parameter, and listenAddr.

See https://cognitive.io/post/rewriting-the-gophers-invite-form-in-go/ to understand why I decided to rewrite Slackin in Go.
