Asynchronous tools like Twist, Discourse, Gameplan any day.

Isn't discourse like a community thing - forums if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure about the others.  
  
 Are they all point to point competitors to slack/ms teams?

Yeah. Those are asynchronous tools. Because 75% of the stuff on Teams/Slack are not urgent ones. We can concentrate more on actual work if we use asynchronous tools.

I have recently switched to slack (after years with MS Teams) and I would pick slack over teams in all features except calls.  
 Slack huddles are a joke compared to Teams calls and I miss the outlook calendar integration. 
 But with the awesome plugin integration, I can simply avoid huddles and start quick zoom calls with a simple /zoom. In all other features, Slack is easily the better option.

Slack has better chat features. Teams has better office integration.

It's been almost a month at my new job and among other things, the transition from email to slack for internal conversations has been very very interesting. 

previously everything had to be on email for it to be considered legit, slack was also there but not an official channel. 
now it is slack and only slack, personally prefer this.

Hi all... I'm building an alternative for slack and teams ...... Where businesses don't have to pay monthly user fees but can get the software  just by doing one payment and host it on their own machine .... Below are the demo of early version let me know what you think

Slack and teams alternative

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I recently started a new job. I would like to share some of the experiences I have had with my manager. I am wondering if these are red flags or if I am maybe being paranoid or thinking too much.

It was quite difficult for me to get into this company and this job. The company is quite great and I was quite excited but some of the experiences I have had with my immediate manager have made me a bit apprehensive.
I would like to share them and hear opinions about it.

Here are some things which have happened which I have not liked so far - 

1. I speak to a Senior Engineer one day and next day my manager asks me if anyone asked me to speak to him. 
2. I shared an insight about a new tool which we can use on a deployment pipeline on the overall pod (under my skip manager). My manager immediately called me and started asking my status update and replied 'Discussing 1-1' in the group to prevent anyone getting visibility of the idea. 
3. My manager pings me whenever I go offline and recently he asked me in a passive aggressive way, 'Please monitor your Teams status. It was away for most of today.' I now feel kind of paranoid to never get up as I feel my Teams status is being monitored.

Is my manager too much of a micromanaging red flag ? I started a new job and my manager monitors my Teams online status.

Yes this is straight up micromanagement and insecurity. 
  
 Just stand up to him man. The more of such things you allow him to do, the more courage he will get and more he will fuck your life.  
  
 Just stand your ground for a few times and he'll understand that you are not the guy he can do this to.

Thinking of building a collaboration platform as a side project. Kinda like slack. If you were me, how would you folks start? What stack would you prefer?

How would you build slack from scratch?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Recently I've been contracting for a product based company and almost everyone is constantly online regardless of time.

Is it the same in product based companies or is this one an outlier? Additional context: the overall company size is around 30-40 employees.

Are you available on Slack/Teams after 8 or 9?

Please share some nuggets.

Hello to all the marketing folks

Life was good when Teams was all buggy.

Program Manager

I had stumbled across a slack community workspace for PMs, but I was wondering if there are channels like the same for Software Development Engineers.

Does anybody know slack workspaces (community driven) for Software developers?

Hard agree

The new features in slack really makes it one and only place to do your everyday tasks.
You can connect with your colleagues 
You can do a huddle, can share shreen too
You can create canvas which is basically like a confluence page
You can even create boards in canvas to track your tasks 
and many more

Somewhere or other i feel that if atlassian do that, they'll have a great advantage over the competition, because many companies already use their products

Atlassian competition with slack

Do you think keeping or deleting slack off your personal phones gets you to better mental health and wlb?

Hello everyone, I am a PM from Uber ⚫️, I just want to share a very interesting story I came across today...

Origins:
Slack began from a failed gaming company which was building an MMO game called Glitch. During the development of Glitch, the team faced challenges with internal communication and collaboration.  

They fundamentally understood that developing a tool that solves this has a much higher potential at making it big.

Key Strategies: 
1. Design a product that is much better than anything out there.
2. They embraced the open ecosystem and allowed third party developers to create integrations and apps, something that we still use for internal tooling MVPs here at Uber.
3. Slack spread virally through word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied users, particularly within tech startups and small teams.
4. While initially targeting small teams and startups, Slack later shifted focus to enterprise customers, offering features and security measures required by larger organizations.

Achievements:
Slack changed the way teams communicate and collaborate, disrupted the enterprise communication market.
