Slack Shared Channels - Work with anyone in Slack

by

•

Whether you work at a 10-person firm or a company that’s 10,000 strong, channels in Slack give your team a foundation for work that’s fundamentally different and far more effective than email. They organize conversations, keep communication open and transparent, and create a searchable archive that anyone on your team can reference.

the beauty in using your own tool (from the top all the way down) is that you feel the pain your product's features (or lack thereof) can cause and intrinsically want to make it better. great update!

We have hundreds of teams already using our task/meeting/project management app (Kyber) on guest channels with external people - this is going to be a fantastic addition to support a great use case.

Been waiting for this for a long time. Very exciting. When will it available?

A good day for Slack, a good day for the developer ecosystem—a good day for all!

I knew I should've seen Frontier instead. Should've stopped watching after @JonyIveParody's tweet.

But but it not as searchable as good ok' gmail. Which is why we're keeping clients in there for now.

Great but even greater if the big guys joined together to make shared channel between chat apps. So people on Slack could talk to people from Teams or HipChat or whatever.

Finally! It was SUCH A PAIN in the ass to collaborate with other companies that also used Slack. I had Slack accounts for every project I was on pretty much.

My biggest issue with slack at the moment, I've got about 6 slacks for work, and another 6 as communities.

Its a huge resource hog having all these channels open at once.

Shared channels is a step on the right direction, but whats really needed is single sign on and a better performing desktop app that does not load up multiple instances of slack.

Additionally, a better pricing option is needed for communities. Per user pricing does not make sense for most communities who have thousands of members. They would gladly pay a price that reflects their use case, but current pricing just isnt sustainable.

Pros:

Potentially reduces number of slack channels open

Cons:

Not useful for slack communities
