I agree with your thoughts on Slack completely. Building on Slack was a decision I needed to make to realize the Alpha of this concept. I selected Slack because of the wide ranging types of people that already use it. I’m hoping Futureland can be a collision of many different creative disciplines. I live in Toronto and the density of telegram users here is low. At least in my life experience.
Over time if Futureland continues to be useful to others, I hope it can exist and provide value entirely on its own.
In this case I should also give credit and thanks to Slack. If it wasn’t for their existing software I wouldn’t have been able to get to this point.
