- aliqot 4y agoirccloud had that first, and before that znc, before that we had these byzantine bitchx setups, but it's nothing new from concept to implementation, I'd say
- api 4y agoI didn’t say it was new, just that it delivered that in a simple way. I can get someone on Slack in 5 minutes or less.
- dmitriid 4y agoI personally think that Slack was a huge improvement over IRC UX-wise. Especially for "normal" people: persistent chat across devices, search, inline previews of images, videos, urls etc. On the UI side however it looks like we're stuck again, with everyone just copy-pasting whatever the leader of tge pack does.
