Today we take a look at… Slack! Slack revolutionised workplace communications and has even made an impact on community comms; although that space has been dominated by Discord, another app we will be analysing today 😄
No affiliations whatsoever: whenever we show something, you know you're hearing our unfiltered thoughts 😄
