There's a great opportunity for someone to build a team communication tool that's more forum-centric than channel-centric. Let me explain the core problem with slack (or any channel-centric chat). When I join a wide slack channel (e.g. #Design), I'm not interested in half a dozen different threads of communication happening on it everyday. But there might be couple of discussions per week that are pertinent and important for me to do my job well. There's NO way to ignore 90% of non-pertinent conversations without actually reading all the messages on the channel (yikes!).
