- eknkc 12y agoWe use Slack, we absolutely love it (I can't emphasize this enough).
- jewel 12y agoSlack is great, but it's not wave. It's an almost feature-for-feature clone of IRC.
- CiaranMcNulty 12y agoSlack is IRC expanded, rather. I actually use Slack via an IRC client sometimes and there are a lot of benefits.
- vertex-four 12y agoThere's a team of us who got gifted a Slack instance, as we're building on the released assets and partial source code of Tiny Speck's previous project (an MMO called Glitch). It's seriously amazing, supporting us as a volunteer group brilliantly, with full searchable logs, long-form "devlog" posts, inline images, and integration with the other systems we use. I don't think it's got much to do with Wave at all, but it's seriously awesome for many use cases.
- chermanowicz 12y agoIt really has nothing to do with Wave or a new communication protocol. Plus, there are dozens of tools with the same feature set as Slack.
- tootie 12y agoIs Slack comparable to HipChat? Seems like it has more robust document sharing.
- alecthomas 12y agoIt's very similar, just slicker with, as you say, better document and snippet sharing.
- shawndumas 12y agoSlack is a better HipChat. msg formatting, code snippets, google hangout support, etc.
- mietek 12y agoWhy haven't I seen this before?! Awesome. Signed up.
- shawndumas 12y agolove slack. we use it at work and it has great clients and great features; responsive devs too.
