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.

Matthew Cassinelli (@mattcassinelli) reported@samhenrigold So good. I wish this was accounted for when opening Spotlight from the Home Screen so they were distinct, that’s the only reason I don’t unless I have two sets (which do account for each other). Also lol @ @SlackHQ having an old Siri Shortcut donation whose image is broken

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.

Henry Schuck (@HenryLSchuck) reportedEVERY @ZoomInfo customer can connect @claudeai and ZoomInfo together right now- but how about in @SlackHQ ? With Claude? Here’s how to build a targeted prospect list and account plan without leaving Slack. (In <5 minutes) Step 1: Ask Claude directly inside Slack to build you a list I asked for… “25 CROs and VPs of Sales based in Boston, at software companies between 500–1k employees, with $100M+ in funding. Name, title, email, mobile, total funding.” It taps straight into your Zoominfo database and all comes back right there in the channel. It even flags who is on your do not call list. Step 2: Pick an account. Ask Claude to prep you for the call, directly in Slack. It uses Zoominfo to pull every conversation you've had with them - calls, emails, pain points they've raised, products they use. It comes back with the leadership you NEED to know, what's happening at the account right now and specific angles that could help you win. This works inside Claude too when you connect it up to our MCP server - you can even ask it to build you a custom interface to sort, edit, and work the data however you want. Zoominfo is going to show up EVERYWHERE. Slack, Claude, wherever you're doing GTM work, your data should follow you there.

Teo Vanyo Adiputra (@teostealth) reported@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.

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.
-
Azmy (@AzmyBlog) reported@lennysan @SlackHQ @aunder The strobe light thing is so real. The person presenting has been inside the problem for weeks. The reviewer walks in cold. And it's not really a flaw in the exec ..... it's just structural. That gap exists at every level in every review setting. The actual skill is learning to rebuild context for the reviewer quickly, instead of assuming they're already there with you.
