Challenges of Online Community Platforms
Building online communities involves navigating various platforms, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. Slack, for instance, is more suited for closed communities, leading to frustrations such as a cumbersome invite process and management issues for larger groups. Managing a significant member base in Slack can be challenging due to its limitation on open signups and the complicated invite system, which complicates access for potential members. The need for a solution that accommodates larger, open communities highlights the shortcomings of existing platforms like Slack.
