Hey I’ve been using the Particle Photon for some time now and I’m wondering if there’s a slack/discord channels that devs hang out at. I see there’s a Particle Collider slack but it seems gated (you gotta email an employee and submit a git commit etc). I’ve had good experiences with slack/discord ch…

Hey Lackdaz, I’m not sure if there is another place outside the forums besides the Particle Collider (not even sure if that one is still used). However, I have worked with products that use Slack, Gitter, Discourse and others for their community, and I think you can get a similar experience to Sla…

from my experience slack and discord are best for collaboration and/or focus on somewhat specific project/product/device. i think there would be just too much going on within a “particle” channel if it became widely used. maybe a channel for development of the boron [or any one other product] might …

Hmm… I mean, if you look at it. The strength of an informal information clearinghouse like discord/slack is that 1) you get an immediacy to your problem-solving (esp. when prototyping), 2) its generally a great one-stop place for all your interests (notwithstanding just particle) and 3) Its a great …

[image] lackdaz: if this is where the wider community is that's right, the community is here! You would not get here the sense of immediacy that one would get in slack or gitter (I sometimes get answers on any of them in a day or so, versus here in couple of hours or less) but I understand t…

Thanks for bringing this up, @lackdaz . I’m definitely curious about an arm of the community in Discord - is there any company out there who you feel has an effective presence on the platform?

True, true. We’re actually in talks to do a takeover of that sometime this summer. What about Slack groups, @nrobinson2000 - are there any out there that impress you?

Thanks for bringing this up, @lackdaz . I’m definitely curious about an arm of the community in Discord - is there any company out there who you feel has an effective presence on the platform? I can’t really raise that many embedded product examples but … For discord: I think the one that deserves …

[image] lackdaz: The community is small 100-200 but all the authoritative figures were all in there so you could get bugs sorted out pretty fast. It would definitely help to have the developers in there. In Particle's case however, the devs would most likely not join that channel, to keep noi…

@Moors7 I agree. The ability to search an archive of previously asked questions (and FAQs) has made this forum invaluable to me. While the idea of a Slack-type chat room is appealing for instant answers, I think the greater knowledge that is stored here would be lost.
