Re:Open Sourcers Race to Build Better Versions of Slack

(#11301703)
I don't want "backlog" (read: see what happened when I was gone). I want full-text searching of the entire channel history. I already log my IRC conversations, and it's a pain in the goddamned ass to ssh to my bouncer, grep through the logs, and try to find what I was looking for. I want to type in the same client that I'm chatting in, and be able to reference this message to other people. IRC doesn't do that.

grep works way better than Slack's search, which makes you wait several seconds per tiny page of search results. I look forward to the day when Slack catches up to grep.
