That was a lot of bullet points, but doing more communication asynchronously is good. I have a small company so it’s obviously easy mode, but we got rid of slack and it’s been great.

Basecamp isn’t necessary though, Github discussions is a very decent answer for forums and discussions. It feels like things that go on in discussions are much more permanent and searchable, and can be tied to tickets, etc




I am curious how getting rid of Slack at a small company plays out in practice. Do people now just text each other on their personal phones? Or do they send emails to each other many times a day? How does someone ask "Hey, are you still coming to this meeting?"


Texts for minor logistics, phones for P0


Texts on their personal phones?

Seems like the opposite of what you wanted? There's nothing more realtime about Slack than email, and it offers a better interface.
