So, I’m using Slack in two organizations, and I can’t “like” anything, and finding data is a mess.

There’s [http://fluidapp.com/](http://fluidapp.com/) which I could use to create a standalone discourse “app” for my mac. I can’t help but wonder if anyone else would enjoy chatting with their teammates / co-workers using Discourse alone.

In any case, maybe one day someone will resell seats on a discourse instance to foster small, focused groups of chat, similar to what people get from Slack or Hipchat. Maybe that’ll be me…
