Elixir Slack community

[Steve Domin]

Hi,

Inspired by the success of the Go Slack community, and spending less and less time in IRC and more and more in Slack, I decided to create a Slack org for Elixir as well.

If you are already using Slack at work then you have no excuse not to join. And if you are not then maybe it's a good reason to give Slack a try, it's really nice.

There are a couple of us chatting there already (mostly people from the Elixir London meetup), so if you want to join here's the link:

Looking forward to seeing some you there!

Hey Steve,

I’m all for making the community accessible, but I really think a centralized IRC channel is the best thing for us focus on. Splitting the mediums is going to make it harder to keep up, provide help, etc. We have a great thing going on on the IRC side of things, so lets keep it up :)

Hi Chris,

I definitely agree with that, my goal is not to split the medium at all, and I don't believe it will. 

I just like the idea of having a chat room for people not on IRC but who happens to be running Slack all day. Nothing more.

Hope it will dismiss your fears.

While we're on the subject, can anyone recommend their favorite IRC client for OS X?

[Daniel Peck]

Related, I can’t recommend irccloud enough (https://www.irccloud.com) it’s $5 a month and take a lot of the annoyance out of IRC.

I like LimeChat http://limechat.net/mac/. But if you already use Emacs, ERC is really awesome.

Fair enough!

irssi :) run in a term, better with tmux. You'll love it

[Saša Jurić]

+1 on irccloud

I use it with Fluid (http://fluidapp.com/), and I'm super happy with it.

[Jason S]

+1 to irccloud. They have some pretty solid mobile apps as well.

[Emiliano Mancuso]

LimeChat is awesome. Colloquy too. Both are free

[Steve Domin]

Just a quick update, it's now much easier to join the group, enter your email here https://elixir-slackin.herokuapp.com/ and you'll get an invite straight away

There are quite a few of us there now, so it should make for some interesting conversations!

[Onorio Catenacci]

Thanks for setting that up Steve!  Good to see Elixir keep growing!

I really like the slack channel. I've never been a fan of irc

Johnny, have you tried https://www.irccloud.com ? Arguably similar interface to slack, but over irc.

Slack is such a better experience than IRC.

I'm using irccloud for a few month now and just can recommend it. +1

[Charles Okwuagwu]

How does an existing member login?

I've been locked out of elixir-slack since i reinstalled my machine. Each time I put in my email it tells me i'm an existing member; no redirects nothing, well guess i'll stick to IRC, it's a lot simpler, with no no hassles

cheers 

[Angel Java Lopez]

Go directly to

https://elixir-lang.slack.com/

The @rauchg slackin library is great, but usually I cannot remember the original URL.. any way to add to the page?

I prefer slack to IRC

Hi Angel, that's a good shout, I'll look into changing that.
