Show HN: Sniped, a Slack App to Catch Unlocked Laptops

We were inspired by the “12 Startups in 12 Months” movement, so we wanted to ship something before the month ended. We built this app as a light-weight and fun way to keep track of unlocked laptops which we constantly saw at our workplaces.
The current stack is pretty standard: Gitlab CI to GKE via Helm, Ruby on Rails, Redis, Postgres, and an EFK logging pipeline. We’re planning on re-using this setup for our next set of apps and will write a blog post on our development strategies for velocity.
I can see why it's a little confusing. You can't snipe people remotely; you can only snipe someone if you type the snipe command on their laptop (which implies they left their laptop unattended). So given that, I can't snipe other people from my laptop as my user; only myself.
