Ask HN: Alternative to slack for cross-company communication?
I often find myself in long email threads with customers. Is there any tool that I can use as an alternative? I've seen companies use slack and invite other companies to slack. Slack is good, but many customers don't use it and requires both customers to be paid for this feature.
- jqpabc123 4y agoWhy does email not work?
- amukbils 4y ago- Long threads become slow to open. - The email's subject is sometimes awkward after a few weeks of working together. - Awkward silences because there's no emoji reaction to close the loop
- jqpabc123 4y agoSo why not change the subject and start a new thread? Press [Windows] [;] to add an emoji to your email.
- coocooklock 4y agoYou could try Rocket.Chat, it's kind of like Slack but open source and self-hostable: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat
- amukbils 4y agoInteresting. Thanks for recommending it.
