I just wish they had not acquired Screen Hero. That was a beautiful standalone product that I wish I could still use.

- pcarolan 7y agoAgreed. I'd be happy if they brought their video chat up to the standard Screen Hero set. It was one of the best pieces of software I remember in recent years.
- jsherwani 7y agoScreenhero cofounder here. I’m working on a successor to Screenhero. It’s currently in private beta: https://screen.so https://screen.so
- nodesocket 7y agoInteresting, so the acquisition agreement did not have a non-compete clause or golden handcuffs to Slack? If you don't mind me asking, how come you left Slack?
- runako 7y ago(I'm not affiliated with either Slack or ScreenHero. But I loved ScreenHero.) It would be common for an acquisition agreement to shackle the founders with non-competes. It would also be common for those non-compete clauses to have limited durations. (I have seen 2-3 years in documents.) Slack bought ScreenHero over 4 years ago. The non-competes have likely expired.
- Rapzid 7y agoIt's almost impressive how poorly Screen Hero was integrated into Slack(if at all?!).
