I made an opensource alternative to Slack or Email, heavily inspired by Twist.com for teams collaboration that wont distract you all day.
Host it privately or try it out at threadli.com
Would love to know what you think?
Show HN: Threadli – Opensource distraction-free alternative to Slack/email
threadli.com
There is not a lot to see here (yet). Some images or a demo video would help understand what exactly is going on. I think a nice short gif of the app in action on the landing page would go a long way to immediately tell people what your product is.
A demo video or screenshots are needed here. I'm not going to sign up for something I have no context for.
I would change the name. It appears unprofessional and unintuitive.
Email is async already, and as long as you don't enable any notifications, you check emails at your preferred time. Same for Slack in principle, except maybe some coworkers expect quicker responses, but that depends on company culture (many are clear about Slack still being for async communication without immediate replies).

Tools are like a flowing river, they have a natural flow. Going against that flow is like swimming against a tide. Slack’s natural flow is urgency which is bad for focused work. Hence the need for threadli, which is essentially opensource Basecamp (Messages) or Twist really.
