I also like the idea of it being more archival like. I've tried joining various discord servers for different areas of interest, e.g. computer vision and robotics, but it's just a flood of ephemeral noise. Do you know if they have public groups like discord?
"A noise-free inbox surfaces just what's relevant to you." how do you do this specifically? I see just a gif where a person is marking stuff, but how do you do this? Every communication provides some version of this, how are you different?

I guess every tool for remote work is bound to become some copy of slack eventually as bosses want more communication and there are trust issues with remote work.
Async communication tools should be focused on building healthy boundaries between work, 10,000 different topics that an employee can be tagged in and a boss who needs progress reports all the time.
Making slack with cleaner UI is not enough imo.
