Slack’s new version is dropping today.

In a word, it’s awesome.

As I write in Slack For Dummies, Slack’s new and streamlined user interface is slick and intuitive. Brass tacks: Existing users will pick it up immediately and newbies will be able to quickly find valuable but lesser-used features. In other words, this is no Windows 8 debacle.

Yeah, it took quite a bit of work, but Slack For Dummies reflects the current version, not its predecessor. I’m particularly excited about the ability to organize channels and other content.
