-
Jori Lallo (@jorilallo) reported@pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ It's still the same agent with capability to access everything as the caller user can. If you're calling it in the channel, it has that as context so it will file issue into the project by default and answer questions about the project without you needing to name it separately. If there's situatons where it's not working as intended, would love to get screenshots

TT 😋 (@MotivatingPeng) reported@OpenAIDevs @googledrive @SlackHQ Can we fix Codex.... When it does a context automatically compacted it stops what its doing
-
Gap | Suby (@gaspardlezin) reportedCan someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.

Captain (@Cap039) reported@SlackHQ One recent Slack regression: If you edit a post that contains a link, the link preview disappears. Please fix this 🙏
-
Agustín Ruiz (@aguscruiz) reportedHi @SlackHQ, can you please fix this notification dot issue? It's been bothering me for like a month or more already. It shows that I have something unread when I don't. Even hovering on it makes the dot go away when there's something unread. It's very annoying for people with "unread anxiety" like me lol. Thank you 🫶

Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported@SlackHQ Can you fix the main parts of Slack before adding more features pls? 🙏
-
Ellen DaSilva (@ellenjdasilva) reportedSketchy behavior: Someone from @SlackHQ joined my company channel last week saying "we're here to help you with the product" (we're not having issues). Then today started pestering me about an overdue invoice (we don't have one). Beyond violating. Shameful behavior @salesforce.

Ajith Joseph (@theajithjoseph) reportedFriday thought. @stewart raised $17 million to build a video game. 3 years of work! 40 people. And almost nobody wanted to play it. He shut it down in December 2012 and laid off most of the team. The only thing left standing was the chat tool they'd built to talk to each other while working on it. That tool was @SlackHQ. @salesforce bought it for $27.7 billion. The thing you're building in the quiet stretch isn't wasted. Sometimes it turns out to be the actual product.

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported8:30a Back at my desk, loading the team up in @SlackHQ with today's assignment, getting eMail down to zero.

Jon Slemp (@Jon_Slemp) reportedBug report for you @SlackHQ — when receiving a DM notification from Agents, and those agents are setup as Slack apps you have to DM directly in an app channel, once you hit a certain number of chats in your history tab you can no longer navigate to the DM directly by clicking the DM notification on mobile. You basically get navigated to a blank screen and effectively chat find the message ever. Please fix. This is a disaster of a bug.

Richard Casimir (@NWFreeZone) reported@xsupport @slackHQ X links on slack (android) Still not working. All other sites redirect properly from slack. Just NOT X.

Mohammad Romman (@MohammadRoman8) reported@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

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.

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?
-
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

Bhuvanesh Sridharan (@_bhuvanesh_) reportedas 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.
-
JM (@merklejosh) reported@SlackHQ There seems to be a bug in your Version 4.50.140 app (Mac) where if you have open a New message and you try to then click in the Search bar, you can't – it just flashes. Can you please fix this. It's very annoying. Thanks!

🇹🇼 Phillip Haydon 🇹🇼 (@philliphaydon) reportedIts really disappointing that @SlackHQ status page suggests its up, when it's clearly down and you can get up to date status from X users who are reporting the same issues.

-
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?
-
Calvin Lee (@calvinclee) reported@SlackHQ the mobile app has significantly regressed. why do I have a DM tab and an activity tab that only lets me filter down to DMs again? I want to easily filter for mentions.
-
jbv 🌟 (@jbv) reported@SlackHQ liking the new activity view, still getting used to it. One thing: it doesn’t respect the “Just display names” setting. Is a fix coming? 👀

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?

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
