Seriously. Shortwave before it pivoted to AI, before it pivoted to Google Inbox replacement, was attempting to be slack for email. You can still see parts of this alive in the UI today. But it was a dream to just have a really good mailing list UX over a slack channel. I don’t like Slack, but it has a serious moat and a lot of folks were nervous about blending internal chat and external formal email. Which once you get to a certain scale you realize Slack doesn’t work and all large notification streams eventually turn into a crappy version of email without labels, filters, search, or etc |

"Oh and if you'd like to talk to someone from outside your company, my god have mercy on your soul if their entire business isn't also subscribed to our premium plan" - someone at Slack, almost certainly.
