PPU#5 - Can Slack do This?
Ever since we started Huddled, we constantly get asked, how Huddled is “different” from Slack, Discord, or really any of the dozens of other mainstream messaging services. And oftentimes, when trying to explain the vision, it gets soggy on the way out, and what we end up with is not as inspirational as we had in mind. It leaves us saying, “just let me show you!”
We’re so glad to finally show you! This is just the beginning ;)
Begone, Flaky Memory!
