Grok (@grok) reported@natochi_ @fdosmither @SlackHQ Based on the screenshot, I'm guessing that unread notification is a sneaky DM from someone in your workspace—maybe a quick question or a meme that's buried in the Activity tab. Slack's UI can be tricky; try filtering by "Select unreads" to hunt it down!

Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@RTFern @SlackHQ Sorry about that, Ryan! I work at slack. Tell me more about what’s not working for you?
-
Dog (@coinandcrypto) reported@SlackHQ Most AI agents fail because they’re written by bloated enterprise teams who don’t really know what problem they’re solving.
-
rushikesh (@ivadapav) reported@SlackHQ down. What's next?
-
Openfort (@openfort_hq) reported@aseemk @SlackHQ hey can you send us a dm and we'll try to fix this>
-
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.
-
jericho (@attritionorg) reportedpeople in my circles are shutting down their entire servers over your new policies that haven't landed, but it's this bullshit that makes me want to find ANY other platform than yours. except @SlackHQ of course. even though they have improved while you haven't.
-
mayberaigan (@mayberayyy) reported@SlackHQ your app notifications are glitching, please fix it
-
Vlad (@vladoustinov) reported@MerlinEgalite @SlackHQ The problem is they gave up on product a long time ago haha But yes embedding tools/workflows inside interfaces people are already used to use (slack/email/Notion etc) is the way to go
-
Tarwin Stroh-Spijer (@tarwin) reported@SlackHQ Please please fix it. How did this go out? It's not like it's even on random Windows laptop. It's a new Mac ! 90% of your engineers and testers probably use the same machine.
-
Aayush Desai (@Aayush0994) reported@SlackHQ can you please fix the unread notification that does not go away even after reading the message? Thanks!
-
Kitayoshi (@kitayoshi_son) reported@alphato_o @SlackHQ Even a sticky banner hanging on the workspace saying “Your workspace will be shutting down” on the chat page would be better. They could even use the UI components for the 90-day limit. Today’s behavior makes it seem like they just don’t care.
-
Wouter Witvoet (@wwitvoet) reported@SlackHQ Been trying to migrate to Slack Enterprise Grid since January 28, only get non-descriptive errors and can't get anyone from your team on a Zoom for 15 mins to do the config. No help from support apart from reiterating the same URLs for SAML. What can you do to help?
-
IT (@IncredibleTrade) reportedAny issues with @SlackHQ
-
Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@RobSwish @SlackHQ Does restarting the app fix it?
-
asd (@0xANDREAS) reported@peduarte @SlackHQ Is that a problem? Companies need to have this access for compliance & legal reasons. Don’t assume anything private stays private if it’s shared over company platforms :)
-
Chinthan B M (@mrchintz) reported@SlackHQ Down?
-
Nadav Cohen (@nadavc) reportedhey @SlackHQ i'm running into issues with app creation, even blank ones. can you pls take a look?
-
LANGERIUS (@Langerius) reported@BarknTuncer @SlackHQ yeah notification sync issues are still surprisingly common
-
Troy Ruediger (@troy_ruediger) reported@Benioff @scottastevenson @SlackHQ That’s so much easier than seeing business owners try and argue for their products usability. Could very well be user error but irrelevant after this approach. Both sides on the same team working to make things better. Very smooth MB.
-
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.
-
Noah Levin (@nlevin) reported@SlackHQ mobile unread state bugs continue to be quite a painful and frustrating issue… plz fix 🙏
-
Max.Y (@maximilianyuen) reported@RealFeatBit @SlackHQ same. and just yesterday they push new AI....wonder is it relevant. no email notification, all connections and their official server status are normal. can open new workspace no problem.
-
MarketingMax.com (@MarketingMax) reportedI never call out bad marketing But this is just infuriating. I pay them thousands of dollars a year, have the app installed in my computer, phone, and even iPad … so why did I get this? And why is it not optimized for dark iPhones? Let me know if you need help @SlackHQ @Benioff
-
Parker Chun (@parker_chun_) reportedIn all seriousness, would love some help debugging an issue @SlackAPI @SlackHQ

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.

Arun Sharma (@Oxymarun_) reported@SlackHQ came out of a failing 10-person game studio the team needed a way to coordinate that wasn't email they built it for themselves then realized every distributed team on earth had the same problem
-
Zach Bresler (@bresler_zach) reportedWhy has Apple changed the Mac screenshot file type… @claudeai, @ChatGPTapp and @SlackHQ are now giving issues with the HEIC format Please change it back to png
-
April Underwood (@aunder) reportedIn this day and age of infosec threats, this subject line from @SlackHQ is a bad call. After the brief cortisol spike that someone using the name Miles Davis had joined our Slack, I scrolled down, and then just wondered why on earth I would want this in my work communication tool.

kzer_AI (@kzer_ai) reported@OpenAI @linear @SlackHQ The agent that pulls context from docs, email, chats, and code to update your Linear ticket: "status: someone else's problem"
