I hear you but although I know slack is vital I do believe that this board is critical for appearing active.
Glad to hear though that slack is growing fast for bay. I hear there are hundreds of people on it.
I like the hint from munti that the api is coming too.
All good stuff.
Crypto I agree with your comment regarding this board and slack. (also remember reading your similar comment months ago regarding the same thing) I only found out about Bay because of this thread. It is also much easier to learn and follow a project on here vs slack. The search function is not the best on slack either to find answers to questions. If a board is inactive I usually assume that it's either dead or has no following.
