Speaking solely from personal experience, I find that Async helps keep everyone on the same page. Rather than needing to scroll back through Slack or keep tabs on multiple channels, all I need to do is log in to Async and read the various posts folks have put up that mention me (if you're mentioned, it's important and you should probably read it) as well as other posts that might cover areas outside of my team that interest me.
It's a much more scalable approach than trying to read the backscroll in Slack, IMO.
It has a few special features, but on the whole it's basically like a company-wide journal.
- scruple 8y agoI am a full-time remote employee, and I also work with folks in South America over to Belarus. I am curious, what is Async? Searching for it on Google is not fruitful.
- matthewheath 8y agoSorry for not clarifying in my earlier comment: Async is an internal Zapier tool (custom built) used to communicate across the company. Think of it like an internal blog system.
- scruple 8y agoAh-ha! That's awesome, thanks for the clarification. That does sound very useful, in fact.
- SnootyMonkey 8y agoWe happened to have built an OSS / SaaS version of Asynch if you're interested: https://github.com/open-company https://github.com/open-company / https://carrot.io https://carrot.io
- scruple 8y agoI am! I'll check this out, thanks!
