Slack (software)

Slack is an online messaging app with fancier features.^[7] Stewart Butterfield helped create it. It was originally for a video game. But then they just made it a simple messaging app and dropped the video game idea.^[8][9] "Slack" stands for "Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge."^[10][11]
