Typing "GIF," for instance, lets users search for the appropriate media to post
Seems a lot like /giphy
- pbreit 11y agoYou're missing the whole thing. For starters, Slack is for work and Peach is for personal. But I think before you dismiss something as "isn't it just x plus y?" you need to take a little bit more time and thinking to try and figure out what the product designers are trying to achieve and how.
- thwarted 11y agoMaybe the product designers and product providers should be more explicit about how their product should be used and who their target demographic is, if they want a successful product, rather than making everyone "figure out" what they are trying to achieve and how.
- pbreit 11y ago"Figuring it out" might be the point. You do realize that you are referring to some of the very few people who have actually already built an amazingly successful product.
- tyre 11y agoI would like to put this on a t-shirt and send it to every startup. You cannot build an incredible product without a profound and nuanced understanding of your market.
- jobu 11y agoThat's rather arbitrary. Lots of people use Slack for both work and personal. The deeper I look and more I think about Peach, the more it looks like a messaging app that lost it's vision. I feel the same way about Snapchat lately too, but somehow they still have a multi-billion dollar valuation, so I'm obviously not the best one to rate a company/app like Peach.
- tcdent 11y agoSlack didn't invent chat commands. Bots have been listening and enhancing IRC for decades. The terminology varies, but there's little difference in implementation.
