The backbone of my remote and async work

I gave it an 8 because I’m overall very satisfied with Slack. It’s a tool I rely on a daily basis, and I’d definitely recommend it to friends. The only reason it’s not a 10 is that there are still a few areas where I think it could go even further, like project management.

I’ve been working remotely for eight years, and Slack has been my go-to tool for much of that time. I’ve been using it since it was just a startup, and it’s really been a game changer for me. It makes communication easy and helps build strong connections across a distributed team. We use it for quick chats, sharing updates, and collaborating on company processes, and it’s also a great space for brainstorming and sparking creative ideas together.
Where Slack feels less effective for me is with project management and tracking. It works well for conversations, but when projects need more visual or structured organization, I find dedicated tools are a better fit. I’ve tried exploring ways to set that up in Slack, but I usually hit limitations that push me toward other user-friendly options built for that kind of work. I’d love to have that built into Slack though, it would make it an even more powerful app for my case.
