What is Reddit's opinion of
Slack?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
➔ Slack website
By popularity on Reddit, this Service is:
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
For me one of the biggest problems with slack (right after the fact it's proprietary and controlled by a company I don't trust) is that you need to pay, if you want full access to chat history. In theory you could use API to write a bot storing history somewhere, but it seems to be against terms of service (point 6.5).
Also, I still remember how slack suddenly changed their TOS and took my data as hostage. There was no option to decline new TOS and take my current chat history away. Fuck them.
I'm actually happy you put the OOPS there. You know why? Because a friend of mine came across your post and told me about it. And why should I care? Because I designed the damn thing :)
Some time ago I made an app for the Slack platform called "/oops" and this is the logo I designed for it, your post is how I realized it's the first result in Google when searching for the word "oops".
Wave was way ahead of its time imho. Sure, it was unfocussed, never reached critical mass, and so on; but the underlying idea is great.
I can’t help but compare it to Slack, which does so much less but still manages to be so very useful. (And Slack doesn’t even touch collaboration.)
Just goes to show that there’s so much more to be explored in term of digital communication and collaboration. IM is just the very tip of the iceberg, Wave and Slack give us a taste of what’s to come …
I’m sure Wave will return (in spirit). When done right, this stuff will be amazing.
"All-in-one voice and text chat for gamers that's free, secure, and works on both your desktop and phone." - Discord It also allows the uploads of videos and pictures.
There is a more work oriented platform called Slack, that also has the ability to text chat(pictures, videos, whatever) in a group based setting except that it does not have voice chat.
Before anyone goes screaming "Copying Discord"
Wanna leave that there. Existed before Discord, for quite some time. Discord itself is the copy.

> You proposed some bullshit alternative from what the rest of the planet uses.
Slack is used by organizations around the world, including NASA JPL, Time Magazine, BuzzFeed, and Harvard's administration. In fact, the moderator corps at /r/science uses Slack to manage their activities. There's nothing "alternative" about it; it's the de facto king in its domain, team communications.
You're free to do whatever you want. The topic of this thread is collating advice on tools that can be used by academics to help with their job. I've personally found Slack to be an exceptional tool, and I'm sharing my experience here.
Slack for team communication. It really is much better then hangouts/messenger, and its app supports all major OS'es. Basically it's a communicator tailored for the needs of teams. It supports easy file transfer, thematic soubgroups, copy-pasting everything you want etc. In short I highly recommend it https://slack.com/
They make a "messaging app". So it's going to be very young, very outgoing, very social.
So they're going to be looking for fresh-faced go-getters who think they're going to disrupt the industry. Essentially, if you've been working in the field for more than 5 years, you're going to be too jaded to "fit".
For them, drinking is a social activity, not something you do to dull the pain.
DNSCrypt for Mac. Encrypts all DNS queries between your machine and OpenDNS and a few other DNS providers that don't log queries. For the security conscious who don't want their ISP tracking dns requests.
Slack - Team chat/productivity software. Totally free, allows you to invite an unlimited number of users. Mac, iOS and Android apps, plus Chrome extension/web version for every other OS. Use it to keep up with my team, it's a nice mix of IRC with tons of extra features built in like file sharing, integrations with other apps like Trello, etc. Lets us have separate rooms for each client, a room to screw around and post stuff we find on Reddit and just a place to chat about work that's fully archived and searchable.
Any company on that scale will have prepared and published (e.g. for Slack: https://slack.com/security ) audited security controls, written on the premise that any of your employees could be an illiterate monkey pressing random buttons, or in collusion with the Commies, or both. It's far from an infallible system, but a lot of work goes into securing SaaS platforms from malicious actors /within/ the company - work that often wouldn't happen if you self-hosted.
This is the link to the position, correct?

I think you've gotten worked-up for no reason.
Hey man. I think it's great that you're doing this and getting so much interest.
Let me suggest [https://slack.com/]. It is honestly the best coordination tool I have seen so far. You can make different private chat groups, have topic-based chat groups, integrate 3rd party services, upload files (there's even a code snippet thingy :).
Speaking as a 4th year Computer Science student, you might want to open positions for "mentors". Programming can be daunting just starting out, and often what people need isn't "what is the answer" but "how the hell do I find these answers?!". I think people with experience could volunteer to mentor and would be really useful.
Lastly... Good luck :) I signed up to study a subset of programming I have little to no experience with, so I'll see how it unfolds!
I highly doubt this. Surprisingly, most tech workers don't want to be 100% remote.
> the vast majority of global knowledge workers (72%) prefer a hybrid arrangement that combines the home and the office. Workers are far less enthusiastic about going all in on one environment: Only 12% would prefer working from the office all the time, and 13% want to work from home full-time. Slack survey of 9,000 tech workers
It's nice to see your coworkers in person, and you cannot beat the bandwidth of working within physical question-asking distance.
I think the only real change from pandemic is that companies/careers that have previously been anti-WFH or resistant to the idea will have to start offering 1-2 days a week WFH as a policy if they want to retain employees. There's no longer any valid argument against it, as we've already proven that it works fine.
Hey, sorry that you're in such a crappy situation.
Do forgive me if I say anything useless because I'm not super experienced with slack, but my husband uses it at work so I know what you're talking about, and you certainly shouldn't be singled out because of it.
From some googling, it seems that you should be able to display all emojis in plain text, is this an option? See this article (under "Change your emoji display"):

Hope it works out!
i operate under a principle of if they want me to know, they'll tell me -- otherwise, i feel like i'm being nosy & intrusive. HOWEVER, i've found that this often leads to me (1) being left out, and (2) not knowing what's going on. in the past, i have faked having an interest in the people i work with & their oversharing of intricate details of their lives -- that has kept me more in the loop, but it has also been exhausting & made me lose a lot of respect for them (it has often felt like the more i learn, the shittier they reveal themselves to be). i'm not really sure that there's a way to "win" in this situation, to be honest, unless your co-workers are open to implementing some sort of communication tool. (at one of my past jobs, we used the website slack to coordinate different things... perhaps you could suggest that & volunteer to get it up & running.)

Because you're not a registered Democrat, you can't sign or carry a petition. But you can phonebank; hand out flyers or create ones for other volunteers to use; write letters to the editor; do data entry for the campaign; host a meeting, fundraiser, or debate watch party; or come up with your own ideas. In addition, if you have experience coding, you can join Coders for Sanders (/r/codersforsanders) on Slack at https://cfs-slack.forsanders.com/. (If you don't know what Slack is, go here.)
It would be silly for Amazon to go after Microsoft on the application layer. Google has been unsuccessful with its office suite outside of education. MS Office is still the king in the enterprise by a wide margin.
As far as Chime, I’m not aware of anyone that uses the Chime application (as opposed to the SDK) outside of Amazon. Heck even Amazon is moving away from Chime for chat to Slack internally (https://slack.com/blog/news/slack-aws-drive-development-agility). The only thing Chime is good for is meetings. Once you add Chime to the invite, it auto calls you a minute before the meeting.
Not every company needs to compete in every field.
What they shouldn't do is switch languages based on IP address. My browser has a perfectly good way of telling the server which language to serve.
accept-language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8,es-ES;q=0.7,es;q=0.6,pt-BR;q=0.5,pt;q=0.4

No, bad Slack.
Edit:
Oh, even better, going to https://slack.com/intl/en-us/release-notes/android redirects to the Spanish version. Asking for the en-gb version gets the en-US release notes.
If you're talking about Google Hangouts at the company's domain or Slack on a company-run team ... just use personal accounts for Hangouts, or make a new Slack team and sign up with personal email.
I'm on the team at $employer that runs both our Google and Slack setups. We see that data, but we don't intercept HTTPS, so it's hard for us to see the contents of outside email or non-corporate Slack. (We can of course log in or RDP to every machine, but we're not evil. I guess your employer is, so, don't use devices they can log into.) And it's impossible for us to see outside email or non-corporate Slack, when installed on someone's phone, when they're not connected to our wifi ... none of that goes through our infrastructure.
... Unless I misread your goal, and you want this to be official but less spied on? Yeah, that's hard. :(
Okay, I know this isn't /r/netsec but seriously, does anybody know how this shit keeps happening?
I understand why old sites, even those of big companies, can have their databases compromised. To the best of my knowledge, Slack is not an old site and is built with "modern" technology and coding standards (partly evidenced by their use of bcrypt). I took a quick look at https://slack.com/jobs and couldn't see any mention of technologies that would suggest an MVC framework other than the use of Smarty (http://www.smarty.net/).
So what's going on? Are people still getting hit by SQL injection? Is it likely to be some kind of XSS to steal credentials? Or some other attack entirely?
I don't know and I don't get it, is the technology still broken or are these companies getting hit by some other attack vector entirely? Also, I wrote this hours after I should have been in bed, so it probably doesn't make any sense.. if so, whatever, just downvote and I'll delete it in the morning.
Let's get better organized! We've set up a SLACK where we'll be able to chat with each other and post updates throughout the weekend. To join, please visit https://f1slack.herokuapp.com/ and then follow the instructions on the confirmation email. You can use slack on any web browser or download the app here: https://slack.com/get
Thanks to /u/sinaptik for setting up the slack and the email signup page. Also, /u/empw, could we get the SLACK information added as an edit to the main post?
I run a similar team. Here's my order of priorities:
- People who stay efficient and effective when working alone. My measuring bar is: people who seem more organized and on top of things than I am. (Similar to the "find people smarter than you" saying.)
- Daily voice meetings at a set time, preferably early to mid-day for the non-managing person's day. I don't really do Agile except for this, but it works. It's a set point in an otherwise formless schedule and keeps a personal connection. When I've let daily meetings lapse, quality went down.
- Daily status reports, preferably late to end of day for the reporter. Each person figures out a format that works. Only requirement: I hear about what they've done for the day in some detail. My engineer started this off and is amazing at it, probably because he had outsourcing experience.
- The right software. I'd recommend Slack for most written communication (https://slack.com/) and Skype or Hangouts for voice. When I need to quickly illustrate an idea, I use Balsamiq (http://balsamiq.com/), which is usually fast enough to mock up and send an idea even during a voice convo. When we need to draw together, we use collaborative drawing sites (example: http://flockdraw.com/). Red-lining delivered art with a simple tool like Skitch also works.
- Payment. Sorry, I know you're a nights and weekends team and this probably isn't involved. But it could be rephrased as "a sense of responsibility" - if the responsibility isn't to a paycheck, you'll need to figure out something else. Bottom line is that people need to be unusually conscientious for this team structure to work.
Don't despair! Outsourcing companies have been making this work for many years with much larger, more unruly teams. Just keep working on process.

Was enough to kill it for us when we considered expanding use outside our dev team.
One thing to watch for is FERPA compliance with any sort of collaboration software. You will have to obtain parental consent for websites which are not FERPA compliant.
If you use slack, you will have to get the proper consent. https://slack.com/terms-of-service/supplement#education
It's a pain to do but you should definitely cover your ass from any legal issues not matter what platform you use.
I am not a legal expert but, in essence, this does not seem so very different from Slack's Terms of Service:
> Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract, Customer (for itself and all of its Authorized Users) grants us and the Slack Extended Family a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited term license to access, use, process, copy, distribute, perform, export and display Customer Data, and any Non-Slack Products created by or for Customer, only as reasonably necessary (a) to provide, maintain and improve the Services; (b) to prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues; (c) as required by law or as permitted by the Data Request Policy; and (d) as expressly permitted in writing by Customer. Customer represents and warrants that it has secured all rights in and to Customer Data from its Authorized Users as may be necessary to grant this license.
well, I found the problem... We enforce DNSSEC and their validation is failing, literally slack.com is the only domain in the log... wow.

Slack does have keyboard shortcuts.

I think so, but I don't use them.
That site is a video that plays as you scroll. It looks complex but it's actually not.
Autoplaying sound is really annoying, and the scroll didn't work half the time, so it scores a low score from me. It's like the designer thought of what they could do, but not what they should do.
The designer's website has some heavy scroll-jacking, which is also a pain for the user to deal with. It took like 10 seconds to scroll halfway down the page.
In the end I just don't think this is the kind of design to aspire to. In my opinion, you should aim to design something simple and usable... like the Slack website, for example.
I'd suggest looking for something web-based, as that will likely be platform independent. And may also work on smart phones, tablets, etc.
For team communication/collaboration, I've heard good things about Slack, but I've not used it myself.
> Don't impersonate a dev, pretty sure it's in the EULA
Can you link the slack eula where it says that? Because I'm interested to know where slack says CCP can police their site and a group that's managed by a third party unaffiliated with CCP or slack. You know it's not illegal to parody a public figure, and an employee of a company that interacts with the public is considered fair game?
EDIT: everyone is so quick to dismiss the silent, fourth party Slack. Has anyone read their terms of service? I think there may be major problems just by the age limitations (how many slack users are under 18 and we don't have their parent or guardian's permission??? uh oh).
Deliverables here:
1) We'd need someone to volunteer to provide video file. Stream it online and use this app to record it and created an immediate raw file. http://screenyapp.com/
2) We'd need a group of maybe 5-10 together having an online chat/debate watch party. This group would be watching the debate and talking to each other to decide on major quotes or exchanges in which Bernie does well. It would be helpful to note time on these so video editor could quickly find them and cut them. (set timer at beginning of debate so recorded file's time and the time you note are similar)
You could download Slack and create a channel for this debate. Invite each other to that channel and have the chat. https://slack.com/ (it's free and amazing)
3.) Video editor standing by to take raw file and edit it based on notes from slack group, creating a highlight reel for Bernie.
4) Grassroots for Bernie admin should be standing by to take that finished file and upload it on FB ASAP.
Would take a lot of coordination and I would certainly volunteer, but wife is dragging me to friends party tonight (will be watching debate there, but without my computer)
PS. Maybe paid Bernie staff is already on this. Does anyone know? We would need this up and out RIGHT AWAY!
Slack is a chat client that has a browser version, and really good mobile applications. You can create multiple channels, including private ones. I have used it on a few projects and for some subs.
Utilisé Slack ou Discord n'enfreint pas la RGPD.
Ils seront considérés comme des contrôleurs ou processeurs de données selon le contrat qu'ils ont avec l'université.
If one did exist it would only be visible for other people who use the mod.
At that point you might as well create a Slack group or something like that so everyone can chat and get alerts.
This is good. The City of Akron needs to be better at communicating with people. A decent contact form on their website instead of dialing 311, and a Slack community (https://slack.com/) with government officials participating would be awesome.
Jabber, but alot of people are leaning towards Slack as a quick, free and simple thing to set up. You don't even need to install anything, just log into a webpage online.
Is there any information what this site provides? The second page says that it is about functional programming, but it doesn't get more specific.
edit: If anyone else wasn't familiar with Slack before: here's the feature list from the corresponding wikipedia article: > Slack offers persistent chat rooms organized by topic, as well as private groups and direct messaging.[13] All content inside Slack is searchable from one search box. Slack integrates with a large number of third-party services and supports community-built integrations. [20] Major integrations include services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Heroku, Crashlytics, GitHub and Zendesk.[21][22]
Haha. Slack is a web based software which is a lot like IRC (Internet Relay Chat) with history. You can have different channels for discussion. It cuts down on having to do so much email and keep discussion flowing. The company I work for uses it and I also have my own org which I use with friends/family to organize vacations/camping trips.
TweetDeck is web app to help you follow multiple people/hashtags on one page in multiple columns.
I'm serious, though. If you have ideas, I want to discuss them. PM me if you'd like to exchange contact information.
But this is the app here https://slack.com/downloads
Be careful folks, this may be a ruse to capture your wallets. Scams tend to appear shortly after major events. This is very possible to be one of them...
You should make a Slack team for it. That way you could organize discussion by chapter, topic, etc. and it could be more real time. There are tons of plugins for scheduling and such, the communication is way more rich and emotive, and it's free.
I have heard that and I am skeptical that it will work. Another service I liked, plug.dj, tried to pay with that and they ended up folding. Between pretty avatars and straight-up donations, the community managed to fund 50% of one month's operational costs.
What is really needed is some sort of recurring revenue. Imgur for example just rolled out API charges which is affecting the various reddit apps. And there's a reason that in freemium games the stuff you buy is usually expendable. Discord's progenitor Slack also has this figured out.
Teamspeak has a really smart model. They get paid to let other companies do the hosting for them and have very little actually hosted themselves. Discord's fully-uniform front face is like cocaine for attracting users vs having to find and pay a host if you want to start a server, but isn't really a good long-run strategy imo.
It's usually used for business communication (my work uses it), but I think it would be really cool to get a /r/trap Slack created. I think /r/trap is definitely big enough to warrant having a bunch of different "channels" or chat room categories. You can have admins, pin posts, integrate it with a bunch of services, and way way way more. You can also "react" to messages with custom emoji (we could have RL grime faces, or DJ Snake faces, whatever...). It's multi-platform (iOS, Android, PC/Mac, Web client) too.
Take a look. I think this would be awesome. https://slack.com/is
What we need is a complete replacement for modern, enterprise e-mail. Google Wave was an interesting attempt, but clearly it failed.
Most places that I've worked use e-mail as a file storage system because no other system is as easy to use. It's still stupidly difficult to open a file manager and search for files. There is also a terrible tendency to pile on more and more recipients who join the conversation late and don't have adequate access to the previous messages. A lot of people who are copied don't really need the information, it's just so they're aware. So now they are on the chain when they might only need it occasionally and could easily go to a forum and look up what they need at a later time.
We need something that manages messages more like reddit and/or discussion forums and moves attachments out of the message database into an easily searchable index.
Apparently Slack is the current champion and it looks good, but I don't think I'll be able to use it without being able to host it myself.
Slack is basically an instant message chat room you can find out more here https://slack.com. Basically i think it would be a great place for feedback and critique just general meeting place for designers all over the world
Stickied.
I was going to make a thread like this, and was even considering making an entirely different subreddit, but I got lazy.
EDIT: To anyone planning to assemble a translation team, I suggest using Slack. It's a communication platform used for online projects. It's almost like having your own personal twitter, and a file sharing service.
Fun Fact: The Mother 4 Team uses Slack, and have been using Slack for quite a while. They said "For communication, we use (and love) Slack."
EDIT #2: Finally! Somebody offered to translate it to Japanese!
^Maybe ^if ^we ^give ^them ^Mother ^4 ^they'll ^give ^us ^Mother ^3. ^^Hopefully? ^^^Maybe?
EDIT #3: I posted this to Starmen. It's kind of cool seeing people native to the Starmen Forums collaborating on Reddit.
Slack has 1, 2, and 5 baked in. It has integrations with ScreenHero and Google Hangouts for 3 and 4:
https://slack.com/integrations
We've been using Slack for a few months and it kicks ass. It has totally replaced email for us internally.
We're super proud to be one of the first to get GIFs on Twitter. We even helped them build their own functionality. Makes us really happy to keep pushing the edge of things GIF-wise on the web.
Today we're able to share our new Slack integration that just launched so you can have gifs in your chat. We built it alongside the slack team; they're great! Your work chats will never be the same
https://slack.com/integrations
Also, we're super excited about user uploads and opening up our functionality to all you guys. That's why were here so you can help us get it right.
AAAAnnnnndddd We've got some other HUGE things coming soon... really exciting stuff with new products + new partners. Can't wait to share those but there still in the works and hush hush.
fwiw they don't delete your history, just archive/hide it. You can get it back if you upgrade
For what it's worth, here is information about the security that Slack promises. Trust it or not, I expect Slack takes their customers' privacy and security seriously, especially since I've seen it advertised as a selling point to earn the trust of clients. There's always a certain level of trust that we, the user of any online service, must have in a company, and I personally trust Slack's integrity when it comes to their data security. That said, no security measure is perfect, so use your own discretion. Hope this helps.
The last time I heard her speak was at the opening of new offices of a US-based SaaS company called Slack in Dublin (https://slack.com). During her "opening remarks" she tried to describe Slack to the CEO of slack using terms such as ... "it just comes up on the computer" and "you can click and everything".
It was cringe and the CEO wasn't indulging her in any of it.
She described using a computer the way you'd expect a time traveller from the 1550s would.
Slack is a website where you can have all your employees on there to message (IM style) each other. It can have separate "pages" or "feeds" like "Finance Dept Slack" or "Accounting Dept. Slack".
Not sure about your 2nd question
I suggest to consider using Google.
tl;dr
Slack is the Discord (mind, it's made and maintained by a different company and has been around for a few years longer) aimed at teams that work on actual projects, while Discord is aiming at (mostly) gaming communities.
https://slack.com/
Here's the bot: https://slack.com/apps/A0F81R7U7-rss
Then I add feeds as I come across them. I currently have BGG news, Daily Worker Placement, Opinionated Gamers, Everything Boardgames, Giveaway Geek, SU&SD, Pub Meeple, and Dice Tower.
Why don't you try to get an office Slack going? I've never used it, but I know it's a pretty popular internet-based office messaging system.
You can just tell him you're trying to make your Facebook more private.
Also, I think that by suggesting Slack you would be seen as positively contributing to the team since by suggesting a (better) alternative to Facebook, you're solving a problem for your boss - I'm sure there are others who are uncomfortable using Facebook for work. Problem-solvers are invaluable in the workplace, and you can be one.
I personally think that requiring employees to add their bosses and coworkers on Facebook is kind of inappropriate and definitely doesn't lend to a healthy work-life balance.
Also, as others have said, you should go to the police and then HR. This man's behavior is far beyond inappropriate. Additionally, you don't want the situation to escalate.
There are a ton of slack groups for things. I have one with friends and am also on multiple tech groups.
There are also slack channels for special interests and even dating. It's an interesting use of chat rooms.
The only weird part is that you can't find the channels in the app, you have to search online and then ask to join. I love slack though.
PM me your Skype, and I can add you to group chats, as well as answer anything myself.
If you want to, there's also a large Slack group that I'm a part of, which I'd recommend you join too.
:)
With the time difficulty I would also recommend giving persistent chat tools a try so you can communicate asynchronous. One on my list to try is Slack but haven't used it yet https://slack.com/ Although once in a while I would do video chat! Good luck :)
But DM is the term that Slack uses for it's IMs, and since the clue referenced Slack, DM would have been correct. https://slack.com/help/articles/213817348-Slack-glossary#D
Posts to slack channels are Messages.
If you're talking about https://slack.com/, the last time I used it you had to create a new account for every group/server you were part of, which was really annoying.
A university group I'm part of found that creating a new account was a significant barrier for us, so we ended up going discord because students are most likely to be using it already.
Da liegst du falsch, kann sehr wohl exportiert werden mit dem Business Plan: https://slack.com/intl/en-at/help/articles/201658943-Export-your-workspace-data
Anscheinend muss man dazu jetzt aber eine Anfrage an Slack schicken, die dort irgendwer bestätigen muss.
The CS team at Slack actually automated the creation of QBR decks through a really nifty Slack integration. It spits out a Google slide deck customized to your customer with all their usage data. https://slack.com/intl/en-ca/blog/productivity/slack-app-saves-sales-team-5000-hours-a-month
~/.config/Slack stores data only for desktop app, which opens your browser for anything other than messaging and changing some basic settings.
So, yes, you have to wipe browser data for slack.com and app.slack.com to re-register.
Slack Connect channels already have a different icon and frankly channel naming schemes are right up there with being the most important thing in Slack.
However you could use channel sections: https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/help/articles/360043207674-Organise-your-sidebar-with-customised-sections
With Slack you can install in the user application folder where it can update without admin permissions
https://slack.com/help/articles/360035635174-Deploy-Slack-for-macOS
I don't know how to do this with a profile but upon installing Google Chrome if you go to Help then About you can choose to allow auto updates which will prompt for an admin login.
I believe Zoom can also be installed in the user applications folder as well as it doesn't need system wide permissions to function.
Slack centrally stores all postings permanently; the users have no choice.
Patchwork is a nice alternative.
So you can edit the session timeout for slack specifically even with SSO enabled. In fact slack will defer to slacks session timeout, not the SSO platforms timeout.
https://slack.com/help/articles/115005223763-Manage-session-duration-
As far as what I tend to do, I tend to put a session timeout somewhere around 30-90 days. Slack sessions are usually already behind another authentication wall for existing devices so this timeout is to just prevent stale sessions lasting forever.
Skype is intended for business but many users also have personal accounts. Discord was created specifically because Skype hasn't focused as well on the needs of casual users.
Have you heard of Slack?
I love the idea. Discord reminds me a little of Slack, but for Generation Z. I vote for giving it a try. Worst case, if people really get crazy, we shutter the experiment.
The way things stand, our saviors are a long way from exhibiting mob mentality. Or from running afoul of Reddit TOS in other ways. I like that you are thinking ahead though. Hats off to you for being so responsible.
If you're familiar with discord, it's kind of like that but more for an office setting.
If you're familiar with IRC, it's like that but more UI-oriented and proprietary.
If not, it's a chat app that workplaces use in which you create workspaces that house channels. These channels can be both private (invite only) or public (everyone in the workspace can join). More info at https://slack.com
Not really.
Slack has two really cool ways to log in that I wish other companies would adopt:
1) if you have multiple slack groups, you can visit the find my workspace and log into multiple places.
2) hate that you use a password generator that takes seconds to enter your password? You can have slack email you a magic link that auto logs in.
Of all the things with Slack, their mechanisms for logging in are freaking awesome.
Here's an easter egg for you:
The people who made Glitch now make the popular team communication tool Slack. The error page on Slack's web site, whenever you try to go to a page on it that doesn't exist ... is Glitch.
You can't actually play it, but you can pan back and forth through the initial area, and you can pet chickens and piggies (they like it).
https://slack.com/abcdefg (you can put anything after the slash)
This sounds nice, but I see potential problems with this:
Branding is heavily targeted towards gamers, and may scare businesses off. Including everything from Discord's social media presence to their update and startup messages. Not a "business approved" app.
Bots are mostly focused on entertainment value, not business.
This move in the OP pushes this idea away further.
Slack offers enterprises security features Discord doesn't.
Accounts are tied to all your servers on Discord, but not on Slack.
Lacking other enterprise features and support guarantees.
Discord has uptime issues that probably wouldn't be acceptable in business.
That said, I know some open source communities and other tech circles use Discord, and it'd be my first pick for anything of the sort.
No a 10k message limit is still a limitation on free versions.
Generally not an issue for smaller company's, and again Slack is geared more toward security which is a big deal for any medical or medium to small business.
Ich könnte noch ein bisschen mit helfen. Wenn jemand im Ruhrgebiet eine gute Stimme/Dialekt hat, aber kein Mikrofon könnte ich auch ggf. mit einem passablen Mikrofon aufnehmen, wäre damit mobil.
Vielleicht macht Slack Sinn?
Shoutout to Slack. Basically you send someone an invite through email, and when they join, they’re in a group chat with you. In that group chat you can share files, break it up into different “channels” (sub-group chats), PM anyone in the group, etc etc. There’s a smartphone app for it too that works flawlessly, and you can have several slacks within it. Just great.
It's a communication tools for companies, communities, groups etc. to keep in touch. Imagine MSN, but corporate. It's pretty handy, plus there's open channels (like the global ones I mentioned) where anyone can join and collaborate/share with one another. https://slack.com/
Hey guys, I am currently one of the admins of a Slack group chat that is dedicated to helping others learn programming. The majority of us are versed (at least some) in web development. We want to reach out to the community to find more members to keep improving our team! Currently, we have around 95 people in our slack team from all around the world (over 10 countries).
Many of us are employed, in school, or just casual developers. A large majority of us as web developers, but we also have game developers as well as members that are part of the cyber community.
If you would like to join the group, all you have to do is go to http://learn-programming.club and fill out the form. Once submitted, you will receive an invite to your email. Many of our members know languages such as JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Python, C#, and more! In terms of Web development, our members know full stack JS development using NodeJS. For those in that category, we talk a good amount about frameworks/libraries such as React, Vue, Angular, Express/Koa, and others like them. That being said, many of us are also well versed in HTML and CSS, as well as some members being good with SASS/SCSS.
Anyways, we don't just talk about web development, so if you just want to talk, we usually have people online. If you have never heard of slack, go here and check it out: https://slack.com There are web apps, ios apps, android apps, and desktop apps for it.
I don't mean to put you down but it would be a lot easier to use PHP's curl
$url = 'https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage'; // POST MESSAGE
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array( "token" => "[CHANGE ME]", "channel" => "[CHANGE ME]", "text" => "[CHANGE ME]" ));
$response = curl_exec($ch); $error = curl_error($ch);
print_r($error);
curl_close($ch);
I felt the same way you did. My first kid I knew from the moment I was pregnant it was a boy. I didn't want a boy and I didn't know what to do with a boy. I didn't grow up with boys, the only guy I really knew was my husband (other than my dad). So I was really disappointed when I went in for our anatomy scan and found out it was a boy. I nearly cried. My husband was super excited but I could barely hold it together. As my pregnancy progressed I was still disappointed but I found that bonding to the baby inside me was easier. I knew it was a him. I could say "he" or "him" when I referred to him.
I was so scared when he was born, but there was an instant love. It wasn't quite what the movies and books described and it wasn't all perfect and there were tons of hormones. I cried a lot. After a while though the emotions weren't such a roller coaster and I bonded more and more each day. It's now to the point where I love my little man more than anything and I couldn't imagine him any differently.
My second is a girl, and while I'm happy I'm also a little disappointed. I know boys now. I love my son so much and I would have been just as excited for another boy. But I know I'll get to know my little girl (because no matter what anyone says, once they're born you're still strangers) and I'll bond with her the same way.
If you ever need to talk, please send me a message. You're also super welcome to join our Slack chat (which you can use on mobile or computer) and we're all super chatty and always there to listen.
I would suggest two that we use which are 100% better than email. You and your client can start either or both of these:
A Trello board lets you create cards which you can treat as tasks and then put those cards in lists in order to categorize them (could be bugs, approved, plans, done, etc.) Within each card you can add comments and upload files and i think just these two are enough for handling your client's feedback since you can supplement them with images.
A Slack group is an awesome communication tool which includes many features. Someone else can explain it to you how powerful Slack is. All I can say is it's easy to search from previous conversations, comment on files you upload, create channels to your needs, and nice UI too.
And yet you are directing your words at me as though you believe that you know me. A more reasonable person would have said
> Many people would rather post on Reddit...
in light of the fact that you don't know anything about my opinions or beliefs, and can't reasonably claim to have any evidence as to whether I back them up with actions.
Here, I'll make up a word for you: inactivists. I think it works better than "slacktivism", because the latter term reminds many people of the popular team collaboration tool.
I'll second Trello. I've used it before and just setup a new board yesterday. It's nice how you can integrate Trello Alerts with Slack and keep up on project progress without having to open a second tab. I found it pretty intuitive when I was first exposed to it too.
right now, just simple powershell sending a message to a slack channel.
$channel = "#testing"
$token = "Insert your token here"
$message = "Hello testing from Powershell rnline #2"
$username = "Powershell"
$postSlackMessage = @{token=$token;channel=$channel;text=$message;username=$username}
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage -Body $postSlackMessage
But my ultimate goal, Is have an Alert Channel only, and the powershell script will post/delete only offline servers notifications. When a server is offline post to the channel, when the server comes back online, delete the post.
Here are a few things I wish I did for my first budgeted short film, that no one really ever advised me to do:
Edit together a video storyboard, even if you're just using scans of napkin doodles. I've found that sharing this helps all the crew have a shared understanding of the creative vision.
Make a Slack group chat for as much of the crew as you can (I think you can do up to 10 people for free). It's much more organized and intuitive than iMessage or Facebook group messages. This way the conversation is open and everyone can stay on the same page. Is someone running late? Does someone have a comment on the storyboard? Put it in the chat.
Most of all, make sure that you, as the creative lead, are treating everyone incredibly well. Go out of your way to remember everyone's name, personal interests, motivations, etc etc. If the crew isn't happy, it will show on screen.
Good luck! Make sure to share your finished project here, sounds interesting.
Worth pointing out that Slack is a hybrid application, and it's not a piece of shit.

Slack:
- AD authentication(Through 3rd party provider:https://www.bitium.com/slack-active-directory-ad-integration) - personally we do ours through Google SSO
- Public channels
- private channels(Created by admins or users, up to you, so this would fulfill the ad-hoc requirement.)
- person to person
- Centrally managed with two tiers of admin(normal admins can't remove other admins, but the primary/owner admin can remove the other admins.) Control of all channel creation, you can turn off the user ability to add channels and restrict who can message in them.
- High density view - there is a minimal view that turns off profile pics and things of that nature..that's what I use so there's less clutter.
- Also goes in the ability to customize the view thing..on mine I set it to show only conversations that I star.
- Compliance exporter is there.
- Screen sharing they bought Screenhero andd you also have hangouts.
- Video conferencing: Hangouts
- Drag and drop file sharing: yes including Dropbox/Google Drive integrations.
- API access/integrations:Yes IFTTT and many other integrations which is nice: https://slack.com/apps
- Modern UI: Yep, no Java required, will run in most web browsers.
- Good Android & iOS apps
- Not internally hosted so that's the 1 downside.
I work with a group of international animators and we just started communicating using Slack: https://slack.com/
It integrates well with Google docs and scoops and organizes all the files you post in the chat channel. Definitely better than hopping between google docs and long email chains (our previous method). Also: free.
I have two suggestions for the list:
It's a super low cost option for managing your email accounts and documents. (you mentioned docs but this encapsulates all that!)
It's all in the cloud so you can access your emails and files anywhere, it's really useful for hosting all your files (for something like £2.50 p/m you get 30GB cloud storage)
I store all my logos, documents, passwords (encrypted) - this includes sales docs, project file templates that I might need somewhere else at some point - branded documents of all sorts.
Couldn't live without it, it's become essential to my day-to-day. There's nothing better than not having to open Microsoft Word, simply head to Google Drive and add a new doc - you never even have to save the file as it saves after every key stoke you make.
Did I mention that it can also sync bloody everything to your computer for offline access?
Oh, and it allows you to add a free 'catch all' to you email domain e.g etc....
Also, several people can all work on the same documents at the same time. There are so many uses and these are the first that came to my head.
A really simple cloud based instant messaging system for businesses.
If you work with someone else day-to-day, you're probably either emailing them/texting/calling all the time. Slack allows you to make different 'channels' for different topics and quickly message who you are working with about that particular subject.
It's COMPLETELY FREE and it saves so much time - honestly, it's really good.
Available in browser and as an app.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: added links / clarification
While it is not a website proper (if you want applications and things of the like on it), I highly recommend using https://slack.com/ . Our guild has a website on enjin for applications/administration backend things we want to be permanent, a subreddit for community things we want to have permanence, and a slack for minute-to-minute communications/updates. Warning: slack is very addictive, at least for us.
We used Hangouts/Skype intermediately. Hangouts did work most of the time.
Some alternatives you might consider:
Glip, which I mention in the bottom of the article, has an integrated chat solution. I haven't used it but the description sounds intresting.
Alternatively, you might consider to text-only daily meetings. You can do those directly in Slack. Or try "Zulip" just because it seems that threaded conversation would work much better in a daily meeting.
If all fails and you still unhappy with Hangouts, I guess using Slack with Skype for voice meetings isn't too bad. Incomplete solution, yes, but not bad.
Oh and ScreenHero was bought by Slack and it seems to me like a good solution once it becomes available.
My guess is it will revolve around story telling by incorporating different media - pictures, tweets, video that easily can be edited and pushed out. I imagine something similar to slack but for social media instead of team communications.
I personally prefer mumble, it has a ton of customization with permissions.
Also, thought I'd add, Overcast uses Slack for staff chats. It isn't a voice chat software, however it is an amazing alternative to a huge Skype group everyone chats in. For staff voice chat, you could always set up a staff section in a mumble server.
https://slack.com/ is great. I helped to introduce it at the company I am currently with and we have defined a number of channels which we use to monitor Jira & Bitbucket notifications, and which we discuss set topics. We are less than 10 and the team has really brought into it. For anything that has no built in integration I have used IFTTT.
On top of that we use Jira to manage our product backlog (based on a custom Kanban workflow), Bitbucket for source code and Dropbox for Business for collaboration.
We have a Bizspark subscription so we don't need Google Docs for document sharing as we tend to use Office based apps but we do use the email and calendars.
My favourite find of the last six months is https://talky.io/ which is a group Video Chat tool. It seems to use less bandwidth than Skype and Hangouts and provides screen-sharing.
Hey there,
There is already an IRC channel available and Ed has also setup a Slack chat room for the Canadian party as well as the general chat between all the people involved. If you contact him, I'm sure he can point you in the right direction for the slack chat rooms. There is also a slack app available for android and IOS, so you can jump in there whenever really. Good ideas though, certainly something I'm sure everyone would like to discuss.
I am not doing yet, but I see it's common practice.
e.g. https://slack.com/integrations
Only thing you should check terms of use for each API you are using.
e.g. as I remember for google SSO logo usage strictly regulated, you should use exact design on login page only, not in promo.
But for other Google API's it maybe different.
Multichannel guests can only initiate DMs with members of their group.
This is from the Understand Guest Roles in Slack help page. https://slack.com/help/articles/202518103-Understand-guest-roles-in-Slack
"A guest can only initiate a DM with a member who's in the same channel(s). But a member can initiate a DM with any guest, even if they're not in the same channel."
Pour ce genre de cas un bot Slack peut faire l’affaire : https://slack.com/intl/en-fr/slack-tips/send-information-into-a-google-sheet
Une fois que tu as les données dans un Google Sheet tu peux utiliser des librairies Python pour les exploiter. Streamlit est une librairie qui permet de faire du dashboarding facilement : https://towardsdatascience.com/real-time-visualization-of-google-form-responses-in-streamlit-1e7fd20c6574
That depends on a number of things. 1. Plan type. Oh the free plan, history of edited messages are not kept. 2. Settings. On the paid plans history of edited and deleted messages can be kept if the workspace Admins have the settings configured appropriately. 3. Enterprise Grid. The EG plan has the Discovery API which keeps more history than the others. Although this is usually only available for legal and HR issues not a workplace dispute. But you'd have to discuss with your admins. You can find more info here: https://slack.com/trust/privacy/privacy-faq
