Hey everyone,

Quick question out of curiosity.

I work as a manager in a consulting firm, and a lot of my day goes into communicating across platforms like Slack, WhatsApp, Teams, LinkedIn messages, etc. Switching between all of them sometimes feels a bit messy.

A couple of things I personally struggle with are important tasks getting buried in chats and constantly jumping between apps to keep up with conversations.

Would be great to hear how you handle this in your day-to-day work.

    Matrix bridges or XMPP gateways (like Slidge) would help.

    Not sure how you’d tie them to tasks though. For Matrix, maybe you can set up a private room, and create a thread-based issue tracker with reference to your other chats’ message IDs.

      Yeah, I agree, it’s a solid approach in theory.

      But coming from a non coding background, setting up and maintaining something like that feels a bit difficult for me to realistically manage.

      I’m more leaning towards something that’s easier to get started with and doesn’t need much setup or ongoing effort.
