We've actually just built what you're using at work: Slack, but async. It's an extension of the message board idea, using Reddit-like threads within a Slack context in place of live chat. The free version is live (it's used as a P2P message boards): https://getaether.net https://getaether.net.
I think you guys solved it pretty well, but in the case you want a dedicated tool for your workflow, we're currently piloting the private version, happy to give you access if interesting. (email in profile)

- arethuza 7y agoTeams has separate chat and the "Teams" functionality you describe - personally I think I'd prefer these to be more similar so that chats were, in effect, a team of 2 - but I guess that wouldn't be practical given everything else that is associated with a Team (groups, SharePoint site etc.).

- rolleiflex 7y agoAether’s private version is (attempts to) better able to handle detailed, multi-branch conversations (like Reddit, with n-level comment trees) than Teams, which looks similar to Facebook with only one level, though I have to admit I haven’t used Teams myself.
