It is web IRC as far as I can tell... again, am I missing something?
- atmosx 12y agoComparing slack to IRC is like comparing an mp3 player with the first iPod. And the answer is "yes" you're missing a lot.
- johng 12y agoFunny analogy. Because most of the mp3 players I had before the iPod I actually preferred. I still miss my Rio Karma ;)
- atmosx 12y agoWell in that case, the IRC might be a better fit for you.
- mod 12y agoI've used both, I prefer IRC--but not strongly. I like being able to use any client and not a web browser. Doing things like pulling in images/videos is cool, but most of our use of IRC is just communication & "logging" to a degree--bots reporting new deployments, for instance.
- johng 12y agoWe use Glip at the office, because it has the chat rooms that Slack has as well as tasks, todo's, files, notes, etc... just seems more feature rich.
- api 12y agoIt's all in the polish. Little details matter.
