Slack and Asana or Trello. I've been using Discord quite a lot outside of work and it seems like it would work well as a Slack replacement. Has anyone used Discord for work?

I haven't yet used Discord for an actual company, but I've used it to manage and organize several projects now, some quite large. IMO, it beats Slack in every way. I really can't imagine using Slack for any new project/organization at this point.

Have you hit any limits when pinning files to a channel? It's pretty tempting to try Discord instead of Slack at this point.

Well, the ideal work messenger would be a Slack clone (maybe with threading options) with native apps as clients, instead of javascript turds, but I guess that's never going to happen.

Too many!

We started off all ad-hoc, in the room chatting about stuff, and when we got a remote team, we switched to TFS, with phone calls and Skype. Someone suggested Slack, so we tried that, and then someone else suggested Teams, so we tried that. Now we've got loads of different people on different platforms, and no-one ever knows the best way to communicate any more.

We need to work on our communication...

A text file and git. The analysis compiler does all the grunt work. If we want a UI we sync with Trello. (Disclaimer: I wrote the book on making stuff people want with minimal overhead, so my preferences are probably biased towards extreme simplicity and maximum flexibility, not graphs or reports. If you're handling information like that, the UI, graphs, and reports are a fairly trivial issue.)

Jira, Confluence, and Google apps for most persistent things. Google hangouts and Discord for communication.

We have no requirements for any particular tools, so it’s really organic. Team-members, leads, managers have freedom to try new tools. We use what works until it doesn’t.
