Ultimately slack is just a proprietary IRC, with a solution for message persistence falling out its centralized design. IRCCloud and ZNC both solve the same problem. Its slick as hell, but still a walled garden.
- reuven 10y agoYes, this is my greatest regret and problem with Slack: Someone could have made amazing IRC clients (and servers), and kept it open to the world. It's a shame that a solved problem with open-source tools has been turned into a billion-dollar proprietary company.
