It says "Connect with your current messaging provider" and then never mentions that ability again. What does that look like?

Personally, I absolutely despise what Slack has become and would love to replace it, but I can't see anything about this app that might persuade me or my coworkers to install it.

edit: Don't mean to sound harsh about what you've built, but that page is not selling the app for you!

Thanks for the feedback! We support bidirectional message syncing with selected public channels in your Slack organization. You invite the app to public channels you want to sync and then we have a setup wizard to help you setup your organization in Bema. Can definitely make this more obvious in the marketing copy.

> despise what Slack has become

I'm genuinely struggling to understand how slack is much different now than 5 or more years ago. There's a handful of features that are easy to ignore, but the fundamental experience has barely changed in a decade.

What is it about slack that you despise?
