-
Giuseppe Skyline (@giskyexplorer) reported@gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.
-
Jason Alco (@jason_alco) reported@SlackHQ Our team loves the platform, but we really need to fix the mark unread feature. It’s been broken for years now. First, you should be able to mark a channel as unread without opening the channel and selecting a message. Second, half the time marking a message as unread doesn’t work. I have to go message by message, trying over and over until one works. Please fix this, thank you 🫠
-
Ash (@edweirdsnowman) reported@SlackHQ slack huddles has had video audio sync issues since it’s been launched. Please deploy at least 7 agents to fix this immediately.

Cathryn (@cathrynlavery) reported@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.

April Underwood (@aunder) reportedIn this day and age of infosec threats, this subject line from @SlackHQ is a bad call.

Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported@pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Then "project channel" is a default, not a scope. The issue list command still follows the caller's workspace visibility.
