An alternative view - you just let go those conversations - saves time :)

Btw, can you please say a couple of words about the tech? (this is HN after all) - I see it is Clojure (not ClojureScript) - so how do you use it for the front-end?

Re: letting them go... I guess it depends on how you use chat. For us, most conversations in Braid are bonafide work conversations that are important and can't be skipped (ex. we run our board meetings asynchronously via Braid, discuss major product decisions, etc.)

The way I see most Slack used most of the time, though -- as a digital watercooler -- I can see why it's fine to skip most conversations.

Re: tech; it's clojurescript front-end; clojure backend.
