Re: Migration planning
Hi Niklas!
I've probably been to silent about it and didn't make it very engaging for
your folks :-)
Yes, we do see a good adoption rate recently, on both ends - users as well
as websites using the service. Not sure what triggered that, but I'm also
glad about it.
And yes, 7 years feels unreal - so much happend in those years.
TBH, I haven't been a huge fan of Slack in the beginning and I understand
the concerns and the fact that it's proprietary, but I have adopted it for
work and since then became a fan actually, because it does work for me. But
I appreciate the feedback!!
Cheers,
Oliver
