Jetbrains Spaces

Seems to be something between Slack, Gitlab and Basecamp.

Things I love:

• the onroadmap.com like vacation timeline
• A personalized to-do lists like BC4's "My Place" (mentioned in) Ryan Singer's newsletter.
• the code commenting tool
• How it's like Basecamp's an all-in-one solution
• How it integrates with Git
• Blog posts which are like how Basecamp replace meetings with the message board
• Chats are much more thread based!
• Polls with lots of options:

Things I don't:

• Everything is a chat
  • Notification System, chat based: They are still using Group Chat as the "primary way" that people get notified of things, this is probably just due to them not understanding The mystery in your inbox (Slack's notification V.S. Basecamp).
  • Everything is a Chat: Everything (besides issues and blog posts) is a "push enter to send" type responses. See: Slack's design of it's input box V.S. Basecamp, for why that's an issue, but basically it encourages short, not well thought out messages and responses to a perhaps large and log blog post that people crafted.
• Encourages making planning and meetings easy

I played around with it, but haven't used it in a serious manner
