My thoughts just from reading the landing page, not having tested it.

I think trying to replace all these Apps

> serves as an all-in-one replacement of Linear, Jira, Slack, and Notion.

is not a wise move. I can see Linear and Jira and maybe Notion, but fighting with Slack just is an uphill battle. There are so many Chat platforms out there and many open source too.

Why would yours be the one to be at least on par with the likes of Slack? Which hasn't really happend for the others either.

JetBrains tried this with JetBrains Space [1] it used to be a knowledge platform and chat platform all with a code hosting platform, CI platform and a little more. But even an experienced dev company like JetBrains gave that up and focused on the core.

I think they should remove the chat part and stick to being a Jira + Notion replacement.

Thing is: You don't have to be on par with Slack. If that chat is "usable enough" but integrates well with the rest of the system, this can be a swelling point: Directly reference the tickets in a discussion, reassign, update, ... in a native integration.

With such an "Enterprise" system the choice of the chat tool is a lot more a too down decision, than a chat in a social group.

And it isn't like slack is perfect in all regards either ...

The concern wouldn't be if huly chat integrates well with the rest of huly project management, video calls, docs. It would be all the other services your company uses like pagerduty, salesforce, HR apps, etc where Slack has become the "hub" for everything to integrate with.

It's all just webhooks...
