Personally, I absolutely despise what Slack has become and would love to replace it, but I can't see anything about this app that might persuade me or my coworkers to install it.
edit: Don't mean to sound harsh about what you've built, but that page is not selling the app for you!
I'm genuinely struggling to understand how slack is much different now than 5 or more years ago. There's a handful of features that are easy to ignore, but the fundamental experience has barely changed in a decade.
What is it about slack that you despise?
I really wish you succeed and I will take whoever claims that space if they manage to do it right, I am burnt out from all messaging apps and utterly dissatisfied with where things are.
I wish we stayed on IRC, that was peak.
Everything nowadays is a walled garden behind a PaaS
Zulip's got the channel/topic thing right. You join the #engineering channel and then there's the "PostgreSQL migration" topic.
Any new system has to not be shit at threads like slack is.
