Fantastic guide on building a Slack clone with Next.js and TailwindCSS! The integration of Prisma for database management and Clerk for authentication is a smart choice for scalability. At Hashbyt, we often emphasize that a well-structured UI is the growth engine for SaaS apps, and this setup aligns perfectly with that philosophy. Have you considered how this architecture could be extended to support multi-tenant workspaces for enterprise use?
