How to distribute Python Slackbot running on Heroku? #191

I've been looking around everywhere on how to distribute a Python Slack Bot. It's very easy to develop and distribute bots for others on Discord but not on Slack.

I hosted my Python Slack bot on Heroku and it works perfectly with my own workspace but I can't distribute it to other users. There's an article on how to distribute a node.js Slack bot running on Heroku but none on distributing Python bots. Wondering if anyone knew how?

what do you mean by "distribute"?

I am currently using a Slack bot that I created and responds within threads (i.e. using Slackbot's in_thread function). It runs on Heroku, the only problem is that it cannot be invited to another workspace easily (I cannot make it available for others to use on the App directory).
