Building a tool to make tasks + chats feel like one flow — does that resonate?

Hey makers! 👋

I'm working on something just to cure this one thing that's been bugging me for years — the way we talk about work in Slack, only to recreate it all over again in Jira/Linear/Asana.

Tasks and conversations should flow together naturally, don't they? Like, you're chatting about a feature — and boom, it becomes a trackable task, and you don't need to leave the conversation to do so. Better yet, you can get task updates right in the same chat where the task first came up.

I've been building remote teams for years and really got tired of:

• Losing important decisions in Slack or similar threads.

• Copying task details from chat into project management tools.

• Having chats in one place and work statuses in another.

• Dealing with questions like 'wait, what did we decide about X?' and then going crazy trying to find it when it's buried somewhere.

The market is full of tools that kinda-sorta connect chat and tasks through integrations, but there's nothing that makes it feel like one natural workflow.

So, help me out here:

• Do you manage communication and tasks in separate tools? If so, does switching between them ever feel messy?

• How do you usually keep tasks connected to the conversations that sparked them?

• What do you wish your current setup could do?

• Open to exploring a chat + tasks setup that just flows better? If not, what's holding you back?

Pick a question to answer — or just share your experience with communication tools.
The good, the bad, even the horror ones. Just want to get this right this time. 🤞

Fellow strugglers, I'm with you!
