You guys need to figure out how to create Slack shared channels in Zed and we're all switching until they won't be needed anymore.

Can you share more on this.

While I do not work at Zed, I'm curious to hear more about this use case for my own company needs.

Your company has a user pool, you sign a BAA or start working with a partner company that has their user pool. Instead of creating slack accounts in both you can share external slack rooms that only people that are invited in/from their respective orgs can join without having to co-mingle employee user pools.

But why would external partners want to look at your code? I guess if you're also integrating with them? But generally you just give them repo access instead. For Slack, it's different as messaging is a core feature to collaborate between different people in different companies, but looking at code is a very specific use case.

Not sure, I was only answering in regards as to what Slack shared rooms brings to the table for companies in the form of letting Project Managers/Account Managers have direct line of contact with clients.

Code wise I guess you can could be working with any agency or contractors and you could collab on PR reviews? No idea to be honest.
