What is Slack?
Slack is a Chrome extension that facilitates work by providing a platform for team communication for the 21st century. It features channels for organization, direct messages for focused conversations, and an option for voice or video calls. It allows you to share files easily, and has the Google Drive integration for an enhanced experience. It enables you not only to connect all your work tools but also to receive notifications for them directly within Slack, making it a central archive.

Summary

Whatever work means for you, Slack brings all the pieces and people you need together so you can actually get work done.

It’s team communication for the 21st century

• Channels help organize team communication. You can make a channel for a project, a topic, a team, or anything – everyone has a transparent view of all that’s going on. For sensitive information, create private channel and invite select team members in. • Direct Messages enable you to send messages directly to another person or to a small group of people for more focused conversations. • Calls take a conversation from typing to face-to-face by starting a Slack voice or video call in any channel or direct message.

You can drag, drop and share your files

• All of your files, images, PDFs, documents and spreadsheets can be dropped into Slack and shared with anyone you want. You can add comments, star for later reference and it’s all completely searchable. • The Google Drive integration makes sharing and collaborating on files even simpler. With it, you can create Google Docs from within Slack and import any type of file from G Drive without leaving your conversations in Slack.

It connects all your tools in one place

not an application because i have chrome so its jus a link

I'm pretty sure that Slack runs as a PWA on Windows and Mac. This is just a shortcut to the website. Why can't you release a PWA for Chrome OS?

Not an app. Just launches a tab on your web browser.
