-
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.
-
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 🫠

SGN (@SGN06380601) reported@SlackHQ i need customer service help and am not getting a response from your agentforce. can you please help?

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?

Gustaf Alströmer (@gustaf) reported@karrisaarinen @ycombinator @SlackHQ I'm experiencing reliability issues with Slack. Message's aren't sent. Messages can't be deleted. App not loading properly. I haven't had any of those issues with Whatsapp ever to be honest. Messages on iPhone is even worse. It's nearly unusable for me.

y - alex ⚔️ (@onelonesabre) reported@SlackHQ @question_base can't use these features when your app is down my friend
-
ImagineArt (@ImagineArt_X) reported@SlackHQ @SlackHQ cute, but can you fix the "copying emojis from slack to somewhere else please"
-
Travis Peters (@SivvyRat) reported@SlackHQ You have no way to provide feedback within your app so... your snap installer has major issues.
-
Peter Garber (@petegarber) reported@Cartidise @OutofGalaxyy The icons might be stupid here but Gchat works pretty well inside of Gmail and this UI actually is OK. The only problem is that Gchat should literally be able to replace @SlackHQ but it’s been ignored.
-
The Mishmash Cat (@TheMishmashCat) reported[1/5] Your #brain cannot multithread. When you switch from writing code to answering a @SlackHQ ping, your prefrontal cortex doesn't execute a clean parallel jump - it triggers an expensive, messy tear-down and rebuild process. You are burning raw compute.
-
Richard Casimir (@NWFreeZone) reported@xsupport @slackHQ X links on slack (android) Still not working. All other sites redirect properly from slack. Just NOT X.
-
Evis Drenova (@evisdrenova) reported@sbilstein @SlackHQ yeah to your earlier point i think it depends at what layer you want to attack it i.e. rust builds are slow, caching can help but github actions is trash for it, but blacksmith isn't bad, is there a generic solution you can use that *just works* on any CI? alternatively, go after the actual docker execution layer but not clear to me how much of a bottleneck that actually is vs. language specific idiosyncrasies buildkit is pretty optimized from what i've heard but i generally agree with make it fast and stupidly easy to use!
-
Salman (@m_salman_afzal) reported@SlackHQ But whether they decide to act on it will depend how much they prioritize the issue. And this is what open source could become as well. We can only report but only their agent factories can now contribute. So, it kind of is closed source since no one is now reading the 100k loc

Tulip 🌷 ☮️ (@imTulip) reportedIs @SlackHQ down?
-
matt taylor (@mattployed) reportedslack going down for 30 minutes was like the apocalypse for tech startups @SlackHQ PLEASE dont scare me like that again
-
Vish (@vish_sh_) reported@SlackHQ Slack bot requires a proper fix first.
-
Gap | Suby (@gaspardlezin) reportedCan someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.
-
Leon (@MozzyFX) reportedPlease @SlackHQ can you add a proper GIF selector I need to send better gifs right after I take down production
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7:30a Getting email down to zero and loading both the website support and production teams in @SlackHQ.
-
Douglas Liscano (@douglas2428) reported@MatthewAry @github @SlackHQ Yes, we have the same problem today
-
Brandon Karl Webster (@bkwebster) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ Better alternatives exist - it’s used abundantly because of the mindshare and scale. The only replacement would be a totally new and obvious form factor that leads to the same outcome in a better way - not a better alternative to the same problem.
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7:30a Back home, getting the boys up, getting eMail down to zero, loading the team up with today's support and production website work (in @SlackHQ).
-
Sammie (@nexgencoded) reported@SlackHQ really said what if your coworker wasn't annoying enough?? now you can add an AI coding agent to the group chat @Claude fix this 30 seconds later claude: PR opened greg from accounting: why is there a PR claude: I have no idea who Greg is....
-
Rohit Kashyap | AI + Full-Stack (@rohit_jsfreaky) reported@purionx @SlackHQ @salesforce tables in slack would genuinely help, wild that it took this long to even be a request
-
Theodor Marcu (@theodormarcu) reportedPutting an agent in Slack creates a very different UX problem: it has to know when to shut up We spent a lot of time tuning when Devin should speak, stay quiet, or move work into a separate channel. Devin was the first agent to support Slack natively, so it was great to bring 2 years of those learnings to @SlackHQ for the Slack Code launch.
-
Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported@gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ I’d say Slack. Haven’t really experienced those issues you mention. Unless my internet is very bad. iMessage/whatsapp overly phone and counterparty focused so I’m more often wondering if the message actually got delivered or not and if the problem is me or them. Slack is more of a server and it doesn’t send the message if it doesn’t work.

𝐎𝐧𝐞𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐞(👑,👑) (@OneTrueHomie) reportedisn't this the same problem @PromptQL promised @sama in order to kill @SlackHQ ?
-
🇹🇼 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.
-
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.

Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@kurushdubash @patriciosainzr @SlackHQ 👋I work at Slack. Could you share a screenshot or more details on what's not working?
