Slack Lists Launch - An Exciting Step Towards Project Management
Reading time: 1 minute
Today Slack launched Slack Lists! (announcement here) This is a big step for Slack to move further into the project management category. Stephen Cook and I have been lucky enough to be part of the Lists pilot for the last few months and it will be exciting to see the new innovative ways Slack will be used at work. However, this does come with some sobering news for us building in the community space. Lists will not be available for the free tier at launch. Over time, some list features may trickle down, but we don’t expect much to change soon. The lack of these management tools is why Tightknit is dedicated to filling in the gaps for Community Management in Slack. While we will not have the full flexibility of Slack lists, we are onto something better: purpose-built, no-config-required tools for community managers. … all said, we’d love to see how you use Slack Lists in your employee workspaces! And with Tightknit Webhooks, you will be able to connect the two worlds together.
