I disagree with the author. Most modern chat applications like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Skype etc allow separate threads of conversation cleanly.
IMO email is the worst platform for having conversations about a project.
- rachitnigam 8y agoAuthor here. I do recognize that slack has thread by that doesn’t make it easy to refer to an exact thread like email does. I’m looking for something like a “named thread” which the Twist Chat app has, but is unfortunately not the preferred means of communication in my group.
- bachmeier 8y agoI think you need a forum for lengthy discussions. It's common to try to use email or Slack like a forum, but it's better to just use a forum. Basecamp works great in this capacity, but something like MyBB works well too.
