Slack auto invite

[ggerhard]

There is no easy way for auto-invite, but there seems to be a way -> https://github.com/rauchg/slackin I know Heroku, but I don't know what this Now.app is about. Any volunteers to check this out?

Hope Slack invite it will look something like this in the End:

PS: I don't have a Mac.

@ggerhard As i understand -- we don't need the Now, they have possibilities deploy 'slackin' to Heroku, Azure, OpenShift, IBM Bluemix.
I think we can try it with Heroku

Thanks @VladimirRubin I had to look in the code to understand what it's about. It is just a nodejs service with some command line arguments!

I installed it on a little box that I have at home, probably only a little more powerfull than a raspberry pi, but running 24/7 I will see if i can get this running.

Heroku: AFAIK the hobby instances do not run 24/7, only on demand. IDK would work?

@ggerhard As i understand from https://www.heroku.com/free heroku have the 1000 free dyno-hours (about 33.3 days per month) for verified accounts.
P.S. Earlier Heroku have only 16 free hours per day and after that apps is slept, but not too long ago they changed this policy (we used Heroku more 2 years, and in the latest time -- we haven't problems with free apps)

@VladimirRubin - yeh 16 hours, that's what I had in my mind. With 24/7 it should be perfect, I will have a look
