Hey all,
We’re turning off Slack signups temporarily. See [Should we continue to support Discourse AND Slack?](http://discuss.hypermode.com/t/should-we-continue-to-support-discourse-and-slack/6830) for more details.
We’re available here on Discourse, so please use this forum and ask your questions here.
Cheers,
Manish

My two cents
I personally actively refuse to use Slack because of their login system. Thinking back, its the main reason I chose not to use [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/) on a previous project (including one I’m using Dgraph with instead now). They would constantly push questions I had on Twitter to Slack. I don’t even use the YC Slack, I find the login system THAT inconvenient.
Discord \> Slack for real time communication in every way (and free!).
Discourse / Notion / Github Issues / Anything (even email) \> Slack for organising or storing anything you want to find in future.
If i was to get exactly what I personally wanted it would be the following:
- Discourse being officially supported.
- Discord community without official support which pipes all Discourse updates though a bot to channels representing the different categories.

There’s no discord channel.
This is it, discourse forum is everything you’ll ever need!
