I'm a part of a ton of Slack communities but I'm active in only a handful.

Slack works to its fullest only when it is implemented in a team and everyone's supposed to use it for communication. Slack could/should improve on making the communities on it better by adding relevant features.

As a remote designer, this is a must have. I'm always contactable and available. Super easy way to also have quick calls and communicate with other team members on different teams.

This is one of the bast conversation tools I've used personally.

Fast & simple with a different ways to express your thoughts.

Fancy code & snippet tools, but sometimes link preview feature can be hell :(

We use Slack at work! We are really satisfied with the tool - so we directly integrated eyeson in Slack ;) https://www.producthunt.com/search?q=eyeson+for+slack

I use this one everyday, will not be installing the native app for my desktop and I really wish this was available for mobile as well. As a web technology addict, I'd say this is one beautifully made web-app and it totally does what it needs to do. Even better.

Overall this product works smoothly and the updates the developer releases are meaningful and truly addresses a lot of the bugs I generally see the week before a release. They true stay on top of the product and make a great interface for user interaction.

We use Slack at 99designs for all internal comms and have even implemented a Slack plugin for customers on our site to help manage their design contests. It's a great communication tool, offering the ability to create various chat rooms for different purposes (we have serious ones like #Announcements and silly ones like #dadjokes) and communicate across our international offices. We also recently started using Slack's video chat feature and definitely like it more than Google Hangouts - better connectivity for sure.

I love using emails less.

UX Improvement: Having conversation tabs similar to any modern web browser so important conversations don't get lost in the left menu drawer.

New Feature: Calendar. This would hopefully kill our company's horrific use of Microsoft Outlook once and for all :-)

Transformed the way we deal with freelancers and sped up our communication exponentially. It means that we can have reactive conversations, essentially 'spinning around in the chair and chatting,' when we think of something.

It's a great app for chatting with your team (workmates). What I like it has different channels you can create and post relevant chats (like marketing, sales, product dev etc). Also, you can integrate this with other tools like for eg. google analytics and let them send a notification message to a specified channel in case of anomalities etc. Great alternative to skype for business!

great for both work , small teams and even for creating communitys

We're a Saas company and we use it every single day for ALL communication. It is just a great tool.

Saying that Slack will replace email communication channel, wouldn't be an overstatement :)

You can also set recurring reminders for meetings in channels and for yourself.

LOVE this it satisfies my OCD of having lots of integrations :)

In any case, I advise everyone to try this application

Good app to work with people. The best way to communicate with your team!

It's a flashier version of HipChat, but not demonstrably better necessarily. Although I do like how shared Google documents show up in chats.

No more long e-mails :)

slack is ideal for me because I work remotely and I can co-ordinate with the design team and also with the development team
