Slack is a messaging app for teams. It starts as a simple chat, but it becomes incredibly powerful through its hundreds of integrations. All the information critical to make you successful at work now converge to Slack and integrations can automate many of your workflows: less switching between apps, more focus, less busy.

We are going to review the best Slack apps we find, after trying them and making sure they can really improve your work-life. Today we start with the first 5 that truly got our attention.

Figma

Figma is a collaborative interface design tool. Our aim is to combine the power of legacy programs like Illustrator with the collaborative flexibility of web apps like Google Docs. You can do vector-based UI design, editing, commenting, sharing, and storing all in one place — in the browser. When you connect Figma to Slack, you are able to create a shared team space and maintain a directory of team files that is constantly up-to-date, with version history for every file.

Why we like Figma: It keeps designers, product managers and developers in sync and let them work as a team like never before. So worth it.
