Never heard of Cardinal either, and I like that they don't show typing status. If I see someone is typing in a Slack channel, or typing to me privately, it takes all my focus away until it is complete. Interesting though that they don't show their pricing on the website. Why's that?

that means a person can DOS you by typing and erasing text but never sending you a message?

People do that?

Happens often enough that people start responding but then realize they don’t actually have anything useful to say right now (“never mind”).

There's that one guy who built a bot that automatically sends the typing signal back whenever it detects someone typing. Very funny prank.

Just typing something and then not sending a message puts me out of order for about 5 minutes while I'm waiting if there is a message coming. And then another 10 minutes while I'm speculating what he could have wanted from me.

Hey! We're super early on in our journey and are figuring out pricing. If you reach out through the site we'll get you set up with an account and work with you to figure out what's reasonable for your team price-wise.

We're focused on making sure pricing isn't per-user because it's annoying to pay an additional bit of rent for each new person on the team regardless of how much they use an app.
