Taksh Shah (@takshshahh) reportedSomeone at @SlackHQ needs to fix how they deal with markdown. Its markdown but not really? Pasting stuff from elsewhere sometimes preserves formatting, sometimes doesnt? I had to do workarounds when working with API, but pasting content from claude in the messagebox is terrible
-

Bluejay (@getbluejay_ai) reportedBluejay AI can now act in @SlackHQ, not just answer. Run a simulation. Check how production calls went overnight. Resolve the issues that caused the failures. All from the channel your team is already in. Test, monitor, and improve your agents. Now in Slack. Led by Ronniel Gandhe.

Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@RTFern @SlackHQ Sorry about that, Ryan! I work at slack. Tell me more about what’s not working for you?
-
Ari Dehkordi (@arashdehkordiHQ) reported@karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Did Linear do this before agents? I tried project-level Slack channels at my org and found it works for enterprise engagements nicely, but breaks down at feature/epic level projects for our SaaS. There's a granularity sweet spot, too fine and context switching costs spike. Too coarse and projects blur. Plus no project is actually isolated in small teams, so cross-project conversations forced more people onto each channel and productive engagement suffered. I get the AI context-confinement angle, but curious what other benefits you're seeing?

Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported@gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ What is degrading? WhatsApp imo is not a good example. Can’t even hold login on a desktop, and have to auth with your phone. Sync not super reliable either
-
Dhruv (@dhruv2038) reportedIs @SlackHQ broken today - I am using Focus mode - seems like the emoticons are breaking.

Jide (@rhymezx_code) reported@SlackHQ Tell me why Slack desktop is not working on Ubuntu 26.04 ( Resolute Raccoon ) ??? Honestly i have tried o
-
Amanda (@hey_amandam) reported@TejasKumar_ @SlackHQ Yes 👏 The issue with this (and all things like it) for me is that there seems to be some idea that anyone sees "AI" and immediately associates that with some value. What user pain of mine are you solving? I literally do not care if you are using AI or not to solve it, I just want the best experience. Explore AI as a cta is a waste of space and my mental energy

Son of Earth (@vasundhar) reported@SlackHQ there is issue with your cache where you store message send failure and likes
-
Jimidate (@Jimidvte) reported@SlackHQ, I’m having issues with my mobile notifications. I’ve checked every setting on my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, yet I still don’t receive any push notifications. I’m missing time-sensitive information because I have to open the app before I see any updates.

Douglas Liscano (@douglas2428) reported@MatthewAry @github @SlackHQ Yes, we have the same problem today

Noah Levin (@nlevin) reported@SlackHQ mobile unread state bugs continue to be quite a painful and frustrating issue… plz fix 🙏

Domino Mysłowski (@Domino_mys) reportedThere was Pay by Eye, by Ring, by Watch… time to Pay by Juice? 🧃💳 Okay, this one was just a joke created by Callum (FrostyTrollz). But 10 years ago, paying with your watch or ring also sounded ridiculous. A great example of how today’s joke can become tomorrow’s product is.. @SlackHQ The team behind Slack was actually building an online game called Glitch. As the founders later mentioned: “The game was absolutely preposterous.” Eventually, the game failed and was shut down. However, the internal chat tool they built to communicate became more valuable than the game itself. That tool became Slack, now used by millions of teams. 🌱 Follow for more wild growth-hacks

Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported@SlackHQ Can you fix the main parts of Slack before adding more features pls? 🙏

IT (@IncredibleTrade) reportedIs @SlackHQ mobile app down?
-
M. Yahia (@maddada) reported@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.

VISHAL (@_THE__FUHRER) reported@SlackHQ @stewart Stewart Butterfield and his team were developing a game called "Glitch" in 2011 The Glitch was an ambitious and creative multiplayer game, but it struggled to find a large enough playerbase. They had to shut it down on 2012

Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported@hugorcd @SlackHQ @github It has been broken for so long they probably think it's a feature internally

jimmy hackett (@j1mmyhackett) reportedthe scariest bugs in an agent system aren't the ones that crash loudly. they're the ones that succeed. quietly. and then stop. and you don't find out for three days. this week i shipped `fix(daily): heartbeat + agent-health for the daily-report jobs` (commit 10c954a). the cron had been running. the launchd plist was registered. no errors in the log. but the report wasn't landing in @SlackHQ. it took me longer than i want to admit to realize the job had silently stopped delivering. no crash, no alert, just absence. the mental model i pulled from it: a job that runs is not the same as a job that works. completion and correctness are two different signals, and most infra only monitors the first one. heartbeats fix this. you instrument the output, not just the process. if the report doesn't land by 8:05am, something fires. you stop trusting the scheduler and start verifying the result. this applies way past cron jobs. any pipeline where you only watch for failure will eventually drift silently into uselessness. the absence of an error is not evidence of health. once i wired heartbeats into the @AnthropicAI-powered agent fleet, i found two other jobs that had the same problem. they looked fine. they weren't. if you're running automated jobs and you're not monitoring outputs, you're not monitoring. what's the longest a silent failure ran in your system before you caught it?

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported6:30a Quickly getting eMail down to zero, loading the team up in @SlackHQ before a full morning of appointments.

Chris Munns (@chrismunns) reportedsomehow @SlackHQ filtering of channels/DMs for last 30 days active hasn't worked for me for months. is this just a broken feature or have I done a thing.
-
John Harnett (@JohnHarnett) reported@cyberomin @digitalandreas @SlackHQ If you've filed a bug with them on the last 5 years and arent a big co then you'd know. They dont fix stuff just because it's broken.

miya (@202409R) reported@ManusAI @SlackHQ This kind of UX that charges users instantly without a clear confirmation step is unacceptable. @ManusAI please fix this and issue a refund. Users should NOT be charged $394 by mistake.
