I see Slack in a similar light as I see dating apps — good first stabs at the tool but really needs evolution to develop into an actually great tool for its purpose. Unfortunately due to the dynamics of the market that needed evolution is unlikely to take place: incumbents are not incentivized to experiment and network effects mean that new entries to the market have an incredibly hard time gaining enough traction to even validate their new models. There is one competitor (can't remember which rn) that has an inbox model that I really dig. Mentions go into the inbox, not into your notifications. Small things like that I think could make a big difference; I hope Slack is taking notes.
