> It's killer in this role was IRC, Slack, Discord, and other real-time communication channels. Yet, there isn't a single instant messaging client/platform that I know of that puts new messages at the top of the window instead of at the bottom. I think the root of the problem is that people want to treat email as a chat client where only the few words or line at the top matter, and, conversely, people want to treat chat clients (i.e., Slack) like a discussion that needs threading where responses need to be associated with the text that it was in response to.
