I think the devs at Slack have run out of things to do.<p>"Hey Jim, instead of a single email inbox with threaded travel requests, we are gonna throw them all in a single chat room with no organization or queuing system. Be sure to check it every 10 minutes, or you'll miss the ones that get pushed off the screen! It's designed exactly like a chat room, but it doesn't need any chat functionality at all (and actually operates nothing like it). Good luck!"
This looks potentially pretty useful.<p>A couple things keep me from trying to manage issues in Slack (like the travel example): threads don’t have a filterable status or a way to mark them resolved, and a channel can’t be ordered as most recently updated. What workarounds are popular to address these limitations?
