Right by why maintain the chat app? Why not just buy slack.
- uptown 11y agoGOTO 10
- egypturnash 11y agoBuying Slack requires Slack to be interested in selling themselves.
- npizzolato 11y agoYou're misinterpreting him. "Buy" here is purchasing the product, as a typical customer.
- cjbprime 11y agoYou're assuming: * that Slack was for sale too * that Dropbox wanted the app, rather than the people who made the app
- BradRuderman 11y agoI mean the slack product!

- rrdharan 11y agoBradRuderman you are conflating two different things that are not necessarily related: (1) How Dropbox chooses to satisfy internal requirements/demand for a group chat solution (2) Why/whether Dropbox should have acquired/acqhired the Zulip team
- BradRuderman 11y agoYea my point of the comment was (1). I didn't even know it was an acquisition. I am shutting up to prevent loosing any more minimal reputation.
- jfb 11y agoSlack is out for a lot of groups that don't particularly want internal, private communications routed through a third-party.
- fletchowns 11y agoI don't understand why you are being downvoted for legitimate questions.
- npizzolato 11y agoSame. It's kind of sad. Apparently questioning the business reason behind decisions isn't appreciated. I personally find them interesting.
