    I think I want to have slak or something like it. The parts of slak I like is real time chat, the option to upload files to get opinions. And like Discord(or otherway around) their is a really awesome channel (text chat) thing all in one place Cantina-esk talk.
    I googled around to see if I can get Slak to show up on the website. Alas the plugins that might make that happen are…Well Preserved or vaporware as far as I can tell. The Discord is another possibility for the voice chat side.

    Questions: What other popular services are around that are like Slak/HipChat/Discord?
    Of those what have straitforward or simple (Ie I am no programer) way to get set up so as they show up on my website?

    Is my question making sense? or do I need to try explain what I think I am looking for better?

    =Tldr/Summery=
    I really like things like Discord/HipChat/Slak/Other for voice that and work on projects together plus they are just awesome.

    Any opinions what’s out their that plays well with wordpress such that they show up right their on the website even if they come from a whole other place?

    Hi @gorx,

    So, basically, you want a post in your WordPress install for each Slack message in a particular channel, right?

    I don’t actually know of an existing plugin on wordpress.org that will do this by itself, but I would look at a service like Zapier or IFTTT – either should be able to do this.

    If you’re unfamiliar with these services, they basically connect disparate services via their API’s and allow you to create actions that ‘fire’ upon certain triggers. I would think you could setup a trigger for a new Slack post to create a new WordPress post.

    I hope that helps!

    Right. I think what i’m picturing is somehow a slack channel+wordpress can talk somehow so that someone on the slack side for example point to a website or something a team or group is working on and it might show up as a post on the wordpress side.
    Or possibly feeling like a slack channel is actually part of the website such that a group can say Hey guys here’s a update or live text chat that could show up on the wordpress side such that it it’s in a own frame or box kind of like shoutbos or ajaxchat (a live text chat plugin) does.

    I thought it’d be handy and realy nice if the slack part could say to wordpress: aha here’s a new post and a question or just a friendly geek post.

    I thought it’d be realy handy (mostly so as it doesn’t become a mess) to have slack channels handle project and geek out chat. Then have wordpress say aha this is a general science geek thing send it to the a posts as ‘goings on’

    I think it might make sense to have a set of slac channels for brainstorming. Then taged brainstorming(Thing here)

    Then a seperate one to be kind like cork board about general geeky posts about science, or tech or what ever (just as examples) So as things don’t quickly become a mess.
    If you have ideas by all meens.

    I haven’t used those kinds of services. So I have no idea if they slow down wordpress.

    After I posted that I tried out WiseChat. for general chat. Working great (so far) for just general text chat.

    I hope my response made sense. If not by all meens say so.
