Software:Grove.io
Grove.io was originally Convore, a real-time chat web application created by co-founders Eric Florenzano, Leah Culver, and Eric Maguire.[1] PC World said "It works as a news aggregate as well as a question/answer forum for its myriad of topics";[2] according to MIT Technology Review, it had "the polish and responsiveness that most new sites of its ilk lack."[3]
In January 2012, Convore pivoted into Grove.io, with a focus on providing services for businesses, and touting as a core feature that it was based on IRC.[4] The imminent closure of the Convore service was announced on their own website and on Twitter in February.[5][6]
In October 2016, Grove.io announced that they were closing down, and recommended users to use Slack as a replacement.[7]
