## What it is
A Node.js application that hosts a landing page where visitors can enter their email to receive an invite to a public Slack organization. It also provides realtime iframe and SVG badges showing connected user counts, with reCAPTCHA abuse prevention.

## Use cases
- let visitors self-invite to a public slack workspace
- embed a realtime slack member count badge on a website
- add an svg slack badge to a github readme
- host a slack invite landing page on my own domain
- prevent bot abuse of slack invites with recaptcha
- run a slack invite server programmatically via an api

## When to choose
- you run an open-source or community Slack and want open signups
- you need embeddable realtime or static badges showing Slack presence
- you want a self-hosted invite page with captcha protection

## When to avoid
- you use a chat platform other than Slack
- you need a fully maintained project - development is sparse and Slack API changes may break it
- you want invite flows with SSO or advanced admin controls

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server, websocket, middleware
- domain: messaging-platforms, web-development, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: slack, slack-invites, landing-page, badges, socket-io, recaptcha, express, nodejs, web-server, docker
