I know it's marketed to gamers, but if you're looking for a free Slack alternative check out discordapp.com. It's pretty great.

It supports bots, so you can easily integrate your git / trello / etc.




Problem with Discord is that unlike project targeted to corporate customers it's might break APIs hard or change UI without notice or enforce whatever weird rule they desire.

Also they burning VC money and don't yet have proven business model so investing time in adopting it for non-gaming seems like strange decision.


Agree, they are throwing piles and piles of money into their cloud costs, and now they have implemented screen sharing too... a much requested feature to put them in a Skype-kill positon. The free money is going to dry up eventually, and how they lock it down and pivot to start making money is still unknown.
