I wonder which country will be the first to be run entirely by AI instead of corrupt politicians

Apple/Google could easily make web apps native if they wanted

IMHO could show a UI demo written in a different language as a "side-app", as long as the core data model is in Alan; that would make it easier to see the power of Alan.

I'd love to know more about why did Slack were able to get so much traction and raise that much money compared to Flowdock/Groove.io/Hipchat.

I've used Flowdock in the past and tried Hipchat too. I've also been a huge IRC fan when I was younger. I don't see that much of a difference between those and Slack.. Maybe:

  - More intuitive for people who don't already know IRC.
  - Really cross-platform
  - Well integrated with various tools people love.
  - Very good "on-boarding" flow.

But still, the difference in term of traction is massive, am I missing something?

Personally, I think we switched because I was a bit frustrated about the status quo. IRC was too complex for non-tech and didn't have a good cross-platform integrated solution. Hipchat app just felt so clunky and ugly.. same with Campfire, it felt really old. I've used and liked Flowdock but I thought it was just too much with widgets all over the place and smart inbox, where what I wanted was "just" a "IRC" I could use with colleagues.

Thoughts?
