  i've been a power user of slack/discord and etc. since i was a kid and i dont like the fact that they get unusable/noisy after 20 members join. so i designed integral to get rid of the 2 biggest causes of noise on slack/discord and similar apps: 1. channels 2. recency based feed i've replaced these 2 with a few subtle features (different approaches for business vs communities). check it out and let me know what you think :)

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
