To be fair, (as a Slack user) I'm not sure off-hand what Slack has that couldn't have been done on top of IRC. Almost everything could have been done with an IRC Server + Backend Services + Fancy Client model.
- riking 11y agoProblem: "Backend services" - how many of the Slack integrations don't have public APIs and Slack was only able to do it by being a single company? Good luck convincing people to set up the API keys for all of those services.
- pyre 11y agoWhy can't Slack run irc servers on their own equipment? The "integrations" would just be IRC bots running on private Slack servers, no?
