I jokingly commented a few days back to a friend of mine that Slack is probably the last company I would bet a billion dollars on, to succeed. To be honest, I was very very wrong - Slack is incredible! Anybody can definitely build a Slack clone - its not an out of the world engineering challenge, but it will never be Slack, it will never have the love that Slack pours into its products and dev APIs. <3 Slack!

I honestly don't know why this comment is being downvoted to hell. I am not an investor in Slack and heck I've been an IRC user all along. I use Slack because my company forces me to. This was a genuine appreciation - I now know better to not praise good things on HN.

Not sure whatever happened to the post about "Less negativity" a few months back.

This is just an assumption, but maybe it is because your comment had no relevance to the topic at hand.

Well, the interesting part is that Slack is engaging in underhanded advertisement. I'll make sure to move the hell away from it.
