    @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ The handoff from Slack discussion to actual tracked issue is where most teams drop the ball - keeping that loop tight is harder than it sounds.

    @SlackHQ @trq212 And a verbosity problem

    @thdxr @SlackHQ It’s always weird that you cannot actively reply to messages on Slack. The experience feels broken.

    @SlackHQ why is there no obvious way to join a channel in Slack? Seems like a huge usability problem, the + sign next to channels creates a channel, but joining one is very elusive

    Now that @SlackHQ Code is a thing, will they finally ship Glitch out of flash?

    @raidingAI @SlackHQ @slashyai I am sorry to say, but u don't have taste, either the editor. R eyes go from left to right, common sense. Btw I can help u get taste

    KRYTOS (@CSO_Krytos) reported

    @Cal_Irvine @thdxr @SlackHQ threads are terrible

  • alexei_sid
    Alex Sidorenko (@alexei_sid) reported

    @Moore_Irish @salesforce @SlackHQ Pricing changes that reduce admin control while pushing AI features rarely improve outcomes. The real test: does the AI actually help teams make faster, better decisions, or is it just another feature tax masquerading as innovation?

  • Krazed
    Krazed 🇵🇸 (@Krazed) reported

    @SlackHQ you have a degradation rn? unable to create channels and getting intermittent issues with events

  • FluorineHQ
    Fluorine (@FluorineHQ) reported

    @gustaf @SlackHQ Reliability is the floor, not the ceiling. Slack hit the floor and is now adding notification noise to mask it — classic engagement-metric trap. The deeper issue: messaging apps stopped being where work happens and became where work gets talked about. That's the gap worth solving.

  • FredsDaily
    HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    7:30a Back home, getting the boys up, getting eMail down to zero, loading the team up with today's support and production website work (in @SlackHQ).

    HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    7:30a Getting email down to zero and loading both the website support and production teams in @SlackHQ.

    @gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.

  • SeattleViewHome
    SeattleViewHomes (@SeattleViewHome) reported

    @MadronaVentures @SlackHQ @salesforce Should we expect investment & AI to be doubling down on the green economy now that no one credible is promoting the fossil fuel/engineered obsolescence economies to be sustainable or even beneficial?

  • _bhuvanesh_
    Bhuvanesh Sridharan (@_bhuvanesh_) reported

    as much hate @MicrosoftTeams gets, at least the meeting chat and other chats are on the same platform. Absence of synergy between @SlackHQ chat and Google meet is such a pet peeve. Non issue in grand scheme but still bothering whenever people send links in gmeet.

  • Cap039
    Captain (@Cap039) reported

    @SlackHQ One recent Slack regression: If you edit a post that contains a link, the link preview disappears. Please fix this 🙏

  • RobSwish
    Rob Swift (@RobSwish) reported

    @AgentAkki @SlackHQ Restarting doesn't help, and I mentioned this in the dms, it seems so weird to basically have 2 dm lists.

  • FredsDaily
    HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    6:30a Quickly getting eMail down to zero, loading the team up in @SlackHQ before a full morning of appointments.

    @SlackHQ are you guys shutting down? It’s been more than a week I’ve been contacting you guys. Support isn’t responding at all

  • vasundhar
    Son of Earth (@vasundhar) reported

    @SlackHQ there is issue with your cache where you store message send failure and likes

  • jbv

    liking the new slack activity view—still getting used to it. One thing: it doesn’t respect the “Just display names” setting. Is a fix coming? 👀 @SlackHQ

    @Shopify @klaviyo @SlackHQ The Non-Technical Technical Dictionary, Day 2: Frontend & Backend Every app has a front of house and a back of house. Same as a restaurant. The frontend is what you see and touch. Think of Amazon, or any website you use. → The menu bar, the buttons, the search box. Everything on screen is just a list of things you're allowed to ask for. That's the menu, the dining room, the host stand. But nothing on that menu is actually happening at your table. When you hit "Buy Now," it's like placing an order with a waiter. He walks it back, the kitchen cooks it, and he brings it out when it's ready. The backend = the kitchen. You'll find database, business logic, server. Anything heavy (pulling your order history, processing a payment, sending an email) happens back there. The frontend only handles what fits at the table: how the buttons look, what color the page is, the small animations etc. Think Michelin star. They're not torching your steak tableside. They need the walk-in, the grill, the prep station, the sous chef. Software is the same. The interesting work needs the full kitchen. When a service like Cloudflare or AWS goes down and takes half the internet with it, that's a backend problem. The ghost kitchen caught fire and every restaurant relying on it went dark. A frontend problem is the one you've seen a hundred times: a button that won't click, text piled on top of an image, a page that looks broken on your phone. Frontend is form, where backend is function.

    slack going down for 30 minutes was like the apocalypse for tech startups @SlackHQ PLEASE dont scare me like that again

  • sampullara
    Sam Pullara (@sampullara) reported

    @thdxr @SlackHQ No one wants all replies to show up in the channel. It is a terrible defauu.

  • digitalandreas
    Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported

    @hugorcd @SlackHQ @github It has been broken for so long they probably think it's a feature internally

  • qudnesa
    duh (@qudnesa) reported

    @SlackHQ @question_base why not fix your own agent first?

  • Watching1776
    TheHardTruth (@Watching1776) reported

    @SlackHQ You need to fix that app so it stops putting people into Auto Silence repeatedly without touching anything. Your code is trash

  • gustaf
    Gustaf Alströmer (@gustaf) reported

    @karrisaarinen @ycombinator @SlackHQ I'm experiencing reliability issues with Slack. Message's aren't sent. Messages can't be deleted. App not loading properly. I haven't had any of those issues with Whatsapp ever to be honest. Messages on iPhone is even worse. It's nearly unusable for me.

    @aaditsh @adilmania @SlackHQ Same, it's 10 times better than discord, teams, hangout, zoom, etc. Not sure about newer apps but I literally have 0 issues with slack. It's really good with connect too if you work with external companies, beats email by light years.
