Add slack badge for slack invites #1

Closed djhoese closed 5 years ago

This adds an interactive badge to the main pytroll page so people can click to join the slack team. See here for the example and a link to a demo.

My one fear for this is that I'm pretty sure loading/requesting this badge be shown will require the heroku app (the application that allows people to self-invite) to start up. Currently this app sleeps when not in use and when it receives traffic it starts up and runs for 30 minutes if no more traffic is received and sleeps after that. We are currently using the free heroku app plan so we get 1000 hours per month of "on" time. Having this on the home page and/or on the satpy repository page could lead to a lot more usage. I'll try to monitor this after this is merged.
