Isn't slack basically just IRC over port 80?
(I realize that it has other features, like automatic logging. But, on the one hand, to suggest that people making meaningful and useful patches to open source projects would be incapable of figuring out IRC is absurd, and on the other hand, to suggest that putting a typical IRC client in a web browser with few other UI changes is some kind of major ease of use shift is equally absurd.)
