Oath (formerly Yahoo) quietly released a new chat app. At first glance, I'm not sure what's new or unique from the many other mobile chat apps, but downloading now... I just need an invite. 🙏🏼

@rrhoover I like how it looks. As cute as its name.

@rrhoover it would be fun to hear the backstory on this product... Was squirrel in development before the acquisition and just now launching? Or, is this a preview of what we can expect from "Y!" post Verizon acquisition.

Another chat app that attempts to jump on the Slack/Discord bandwagon.

It's not even trying to do something unique with its UI or features. It's literally just another rip-off. Why?

Pros:

Nothing that Discord and Slack doesn't already offer.

Cons:

Entirely pointless.

It provides competition I guess? Will motivate Slack/Discord to innovate further.

As someone who already juggles iMessage, Discord, Instagram Direct, and Snap, I don’t see the point. This looks like a sad discord clone.

It looks suspiciously similar to the Discord server switcher and channel selector... 🤔

@brendanhersh Super similar

Squirrel is only available in the US App Store (wonder why @Yahoo?)! Boo! @rrhoover

Topic-based messenger app does sound nice. I have been using Slack as my primary messenger app these days, purely for work-related cases. Having used Slack so far, I think I really like the idea of topic-based, channel-based message, as opposed to using a long stream of endless communication - Telegram, Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. This format is clean, easy-to-use and brings about better context and productivity. Would love to see how Yahoo (now Oath) takes this forward!

Looks HEAVILY inspired by discord, I mean even the colours and illustration style have a similar vibe.

@kennyadr Yeah for real.
