I bet they are using the money to strengthen their position, with marketing and enterprise penetration through integrations, etc. screenhero acquisition is an example.
- ch4s3 9y agoIf their screenhero acquisition and subsequent integration is any indication of how they're spending their money, color me unimpressed. edit What I mean is Slack ruined screenhero, which was amazing before they bought it. Slack's screen sharing is among the worst screen sharing tools I've ever used. It is beyond broken. It uses a massive amount of memory and cpu cycles while being too laggy to use for basic text editing. I actively hate it.
- t0mbstone 9y agoYep. It is literally the worst screen sharing tool I've ever used. Screenhero used to be amazing. My whole team would use it for pair programming. Now, we've literally had to resort to using Teamviewer, because Slack is so bad.
- jamie_ca 9y agoYeah, we pay for Slack for chat and 1:1 voice/video, but all our group meetings at work are using Zoom. Far better experience, and the video quality has been great. Have had a few instances recently where people couldn't join the call and had to re-create the meeting, though.
- mping 9y agoI concur, SH used to be so much better; I think they acquired them to get a foot on the screenshare thing. Took them long enough, by the way.
- ch4s3 9y agoYeah, over a year and they really fumble the opportunity. I'm still looking for a good SH replacement.
