This caught my eye:

> $50 /month

> $300/year if paid annually

I've never seen such a steep discount for annual payment. 50%!

Whereas this, under the "what we don't do":

> Feature circus

> Workflows, canvases, clips, huddles, lists... When did chat get this complicated?

This is not very believable. This new product doesn't have those things because they haven't had time to build them yet. They will. Because there will be users that want them. Maybe not every user wants every feature, but there's a reason they're there.

People want to integrate their entire company into their chat product, and that's all part of it.

I see nothing mentioned about integrating webhooks or some kind of similar feature. The Slack app ecosystem and the general ease of integrating literally anything into it is the revolution of the whole thing.

It’s great that this is “Slack with no features/bloat and cheap” but I’m not sure the creators of this project realize how cheap Slack already is.

If you’re hiring employees, paying under ten bucks a month per user for a full communication suite is not bad.

Might I add that the Huddles that get criticized by this product but are actually pretty amazing. This product criticizes AI features but huddles AI summaries are downright incredible with how they summarize a meeting and cut out 100% of the small talk and distractions.
