What it is
Slack Glossary provides a modern web interface to create, search, and organize technical terms and definitions, with Slack integration that lets users highlight text in Slack messages and look up definitions via a message shortcut. It supports pagination, filtering by category, and offers a CRUD API for programmatic access.
Why I built it
Likely built to solve a real team communication need: centralizing jargon, acronyms, and technical definitions so team members can quickly reference them from Slack without breaking flow, while also learning Next.js, tRPC, Prisma, and Slack API integration.
Tech stack
TypeScript Next.js (App Router), tRPC for type-safe APIs, Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL, Tailwind CSS + Radix UI components, Slack SDK for shortcuts and bot commands, Docker for local development.
Timeline & effort
Last active Apr 21, 2025 — 1 commit across 1 active day (spanning 0 days).
Single commit on one day (April 21, 2025). This appears to be a complete initial push—a scaffolded or pre-built codebase uploaded in one shot rather than iterative development captured in Git.
Did it turn out useful?
The single-commit, single-day history suggests the repo was pushed as a complete snapshot rather than developed incrementally. The feature set is substantial (CRUD, Slack integration, tRPC, Prisma, categories, search, pagination), but the lack of deployment URL, zero stars, and no follow-up commits indicate it has not been promoted, maintained, or used beyond initial development.
