What a horribly uncreative rip off. That may sound harsh but I'm a bit floored that this is getting so much attention...but YC right? Reproducing functionality

Reproducing functionality and growing an idea is fine. It's the blatant disregard to UX and UI where this company has literally pixel for pixel ripped off slack.
- tadfisher 11y ago> It's the blatant disregard to UX and UI where this company has literally pixel for pixel ripped off slack. I'm finding it hard to parse this sentence. Are you saying ripping off Slack is the blatant disregard, or are you saying Slack pioneered a blatant disregard for UX and UI?
- ryanSrich 11y agoSorry about that. What I meant was that Mattermost is blatantly disregarding their UI/UX by just ripping off Slack. If design was that easy we'd all have the same looking/feeling/functioning product.
- pbreit 11y agoMattermost looks to me like it departs from Slack UI more than some of the other clones I've seen (Rocket Chat, for example).
