Interesting, because my wife (non-tech, but still nerdy EE) and I communicate a lot via IRC! I've never used Slack, but my assumption is that it's ephemeral messaging at the core. Could you expand on how you archive recipes?
I should probably expand that IRC for us is pretty stateful, since we both run our own irssi instances in screen on a VPS.
- allannienhuis 11y agoSlack's design is exactly the opposite of ephemeral. Everything you post, including documents, is indexed and searchable.
- lfowles 11y agoOk, that makes more sense. I had something like Skype in mind... in theory I have my entire Skype history, but going back more than 100 lines or so is cumbersome. I'd rather teach my wife how to grep logs than to deal with that.
- balls187 11y agoAh, we just have a channel called "recipes" which we post links to. Search works pretty well to find them. Admission: my wife is pregnant, so she really only wants me to make one thing. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/corn-and-lobster-chowder-107469 http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/corn-and-lobste...
