This project looks great and I wish them luck. I'm just lamenting the fact that we still haven't solved the really big problem with Slack-like chat apps.

The Tailscale analogy isn't quite right because there are no real network effects involved. Most of Tailscale's utility exists even if no one else uses it.

Slack is only useful if your friends, coworkers, or partners use it. Same with Discord, and even open source alternatives for the most part.
