An Example of How Every API Provider Should Be Using OpenAPI out of the Slack Platform

The Slack team has published the most robust and honest story about using OpenAPI, providing a blueprint that other API providers should be following. What I like most about approach by Slack to develop, publish, and share their OpenAPI, is the honesty behind why they are doing it to help standardize around a single definition. They publish and share the OpenAPI to Github, which other API providers are doing, and I think should be standard operating procedure for all API providers, but they also go into the realities regarding the messy history of their API documentation–an honesty that I feel all API providers should be embracing.
