HN discussionAt my company we have a “thoughtful communication” guide[1] that addresses Slack and other communication tools. The simple rule for Slack is it’s for ephemeral or urgent communication only. All “conversation” material essentially routes through email and it works great. Takes some getting used to but our Slack instance is very, very relaxed. Most employees silence all Slack notifications and are encouraged to do so…

HN discussionGreat article on the subject (not mine): https://www.ashbyhq.com/blog/engineering/tiptap-part-1 TLDR: switched from slate to tiptap I’m very happy with tiptap. It’s headless, pretty easily extensible (built on top of prose mirror), and has many sensible defaults (for links, mentions, images, etc.) The docs sometimes leave something to be desired but the discord is great.

HN discussionTheir privacy policy is pretty well documented: https://www.ashbyhq.com/resources/privacy Ashby is the tool the companies use to recruit. It doesn't sound like they directly collect recruit data from third parties. But it sounds like their customers may be doing so. You can reach out to the company spamming you and they should have more data about where your information is coming from.
