In another life, I'd join Slack and build out the future of business comms. Here's a few things I'd try to build as Fantasy-PM of Slack: 1. Kill more email. Right now, slack greatly reduces the amount of email we send internally. That's 'intra', but where's 'inter'? I should be able to ping other people in other companies just as easily as I do my own te… See more

@ShaanVP I'm particularly interested to see what they do with #2. Increasingly (as evidenced by this very post), people are creating public rooms but Slack isn't designed for that. It's a hack right now. While it's probably wise for them to continue focusing on internal team communication, there's a clear opportunity to expand to more consumer use cases. … See more

@ShaanVP Like @rrhoover, I'd love to work on #2 most too. I believe that is the most powerful use of Slack outside enterprise. It will be fascinating to see how they develop their consumer product!

@ShaanVP Number 1 would be cool, if Slack usernames weren't different in each team.

@ShaanVP I was thinking about the old mIRC times the other day. You had this public channels with various topics. Immediately I started thinking how Slack is somehow a modern version of mIRC made for teams and companies. It would be so cool that Slack could provide these public channels where people could gather and debate about different topics. I think thi… See more

@ShaanVP @xzarexhc 100% agree. If anything, I'm hoping that this product pushes Slack in that direction. Thanks for checking out the site!

@ShaanVP The term "Slack-quality" means so much here to people who know and love Slack. There are very few products I've used in 2014 that approximate it's ease of use, polish, and focus. And the focus on integrations and mobile have really helped establish a new bar for apps like this. I hope project's like this one inspire others to emulate Slack by creati… See more

@ShaanVP I'm actively cultivating a public channel, I have a tech and media focused Slack channel. If anyone here wants to join it, shoot me a tweet. Shaan, we'd love to have you if you're up for it. It's still really small, but we want to get to a small community of about 50 regular members.

@ShaanVP @rrhoover #2 would be great. Inspired by @levelsio we've put together a #startup for a few of the guys in our local scene... we may expand it out, but like Ryan says, it's a hack at the moment. It'd be nice if it was just something we could easily open up to the public. Definitely reminiscent of the old IRC days. I've felt for a while that chat ha… See more
