Pricing and conditions are always subject to change. That was the case with Slack too.
This is just another step in a race to the bottom for prices. I don't hate it, but it's also nothing amazing. Flagging messages as decisions is cool (and something AI could do for us) but otherwise it's Just Another Slack competitor.
I might have missed it, but no mention of _where_ data is stored in the FAQ and seems critically reliant on Cloudflare. In a changing world, what's the selling point for those outside of the USA? Why would our company pick this over self-hosting when our country is threatened with American annexation almost weekly? If I go with Zulip, mattermost, rocket.chat, matrix, etc I introduce maintenance overhead but I don't h…
However: I don’t want to have my data in the US for at least 3 years. For businesses outside the US: they simply cannot have their data in US anymore.
Build european/non-us would be a great argument to use this product.
I run a company that services 1,000+ clients on Slack, another 300+ on Teams, and a I wouldn't wish Teams on my worst enemy, so in that regard, I love Slack The thing I struggle with the most is how I'd move all of our core functionality from Slack. A lot of the people/teams that build these "Slack killers" I don't think have ever run Slack at scale How are you going to replace the 30+ in-house apps I've built that a…
I didn’t read the full site but it seems they’re not really going for those users? Anyone who has dozens of custom workflows and apps in their Slack is probably spending 10s of thousands of dollars on Slack. It is probably vital to their business. This seems like it’s for small teams (like 3-5 people even, collaborating daily) who get rekt really fast before they’re forced to spend $60 a month.
Since you are in the comments, I’ll just ask directly… Are you planning to enable a local only version of chat history and maybe an option for local first instancing? In my line of work Slack is basically a non-starter due to the off sight and non-employee managed nature of the storage/centralized transport and pass-through nature of their business model. I would love to be able to have something similar for my vario…

Screw teams. I had a meeting on teams for the first time ever so I decided to use safari, my designated un touched browser on my mac, to use teams in order to maximize compatibility. The thing kept shutting off my webcam every two seconds. I’d turn it on then it would shut off two seconds later. We switched to zoom for the remainder of the meeting. Google’s offering isn’t much better either. I tried the same thing, g…
If you had just downloaded Teams it would have worked fine. It isn’t Microsoft’s fault that Safari is a shit browser and the macOS people who keep it as their default won’t switch to something better.
Your "something better" is certainly Chrome.
But that's irellevant because the likes of teams and google chat are made for management and at best sales, while slack is made for engineers.
What would make me and my users move to an alternative comes down to the integrations and the seamless mobile transition. The chat part, channels, tagging and upload of asset isn't enough, there are already alternatives to slack offering this that are open source. I love what you're offering, I hope you get there.
This looks great. The decisions feature, and the focus on good async, reminds me of Stride (Atlassian's failed chat product). Chat is such a social product, even inside a company, as many here have addressed. That said, irc, hipchat, campfire, matrix, slack, zulio, lync, wave, and a hundred others have had their moments of success, and I could see this being on the more successful side.

I was about to ask the same thing. I saw mentioning of gdpr, feels like at least some europeans are involved. However: I don’t want to have my data in the US for at least 3 years. For businesses outside the US: they simply cannot have their data in US anymore. Build european/non-us would be a great argument to use this product.
