Ask HN: What's your go-to platform for written discussions, and why?

Writing is still the most effective way for long-form discussions in my opinion to reach the best decision.

I find that tools like Slack aren't quite optimized for this.

What tools does your organization utilize for such in-depth written discussions?

    IRC. It’s real time and an open technology platform. I have looked at Discord, which can do so much more like placing calls, but still prefer IRC.

    Otherwise I still enjoy old style discussion forums. They are best if they support markdown. GitHub issue threads are ok.

    Wiki page before meeting is basically what we do.
