> It only has one level threading but that might actually be a good thing because we slack with non tech people too. One thread is sometimes hard for them to grasp. Make that a regular threading model and they will utterly get lost
Off topic, but this astounds me.
Not trying to be elitist (I'm genuinely curious), but what is it about threads that throws them off?
They seem unrelated to software. I would have thought "non-tech" people would also understand them.
Just because they're unrelated to software does not mean that everyone will understand. I can't really tell you what makes them hard for people, I can only guess.
One guess is that there's the mental effort in keeping track of these threads (even when they're literally right in front of you in the interface.
Maybe it's the fact that they're just so used to the whole email chain with 15 levels of quoting old emails that is so common in many companies. Many many people are mentally immobile and unprepared to switch to anything else, once they're used to something. Lifelong learning is not something that is common in every job, like it is in software development.
Again you can't really ask me because I find threading totally awesome.
