re:loc recently created a mobile and Slack app that helps automate your status based on your current location. Re:loc was designed to allow co-workers, friends, associates, or even strangers to have transparency into your general location while maintaining privacy.

The service allows you to display emojis to represent your location in Slack. Members of your Slack team will see emojis representing your location, but they won’t know your coordinates. Knowing others’ general locations helps us feel more connected in a time where many feel isolated.
