Show HN: Vostorq – I built the anti-Slack after working at a Slack-first companyhttps://www.vostorq.com/A while back, I joined a company with a "Slack-first" communication policy. I was concerned from the beginning because Slack or Teams had never felt sufficient at the companies where I'd worked before. Some discussions happened over email, meetings played an important role, Jira was used heavily, and Google Docs or Confluence was used for documentation. That setup felt necessary, but it wasn't optimal. So the "Slack-first" approach sounded suspicious, but intriguing. I was curious what they had done with Slack to solve this multi-tool mess. In practice, though, it didn't solve it for me.Take the DevOps support channel. I was new, the infrastructure setup had some issues, and I asked question after question, feeling more and more like an idiot who constantly bothers people (potentially, every person in the channel), because sometimes it was a genuine bug, and sometimes it was simply my misunderstanding of the setup. I always got answers eventually, but they were slower and shallower thaJul 29, 2026 2:45 PM
