@stewart_cc Are any of those open source? Might be a clear differentiation in such a competitive space.

@saintsal Excellent point. And no, not that I know of.
Slack is catching on outside of non-technical/developer teams though, and even within the tech field- how valuable is open-source vs. a pretty-polished product like Slack?

@stewart_cc In developing economies and some governments and enterprises, open source makes a big difference. (And modern open source doesn't necessarily mean bad UX or lack of polish. Take Ghost and Fedora for example.)
