I've been pondering how to attack the problem of making better UIs for going on 10 years now. Half the time I think I'm completely out of touch and that my ideas are irrelevant (with good reason), the rest of the time I wonder what would happen if I actually tried to implement some of the stuff I've come up with. (I strongly suspect I'd get a rude shock and realize how much iteration would be needed to make it usable, heh.) I'd love to bounce ideas back and forth, but... agh, a Slack URL. I tried Slack once, felt too stifled, and bolted. The poor team I joined still has no idea where I went or why I left. I'm torn between asking for an invite and just passing because, ironically, the software being used grates too much (XD)... maybe you could enable the IRC gateway? One thing at a time though; if you're using Slack, so be it. My public email is in my profile. The private email I'd want to sign up under is different.
