    @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.

    6:30a Getting eMail down to zero. Planning out the work, so I can work out the plan. Loading support and production into @SlackHQ.

    $IOND still in pre-launch. second delay message, 10:31 and now 10:39. this is normal. "All NASDAQ systems are fully operational" is in the message. nothing is broken. direct listings open when price discovery settles, not on a clock. @coinbase, @SlackHQ and @Spotify all opened late too.

    @SlackHQ @dorukkavcioglu I miss the old glitch game, had fun with some of your old founders in that :(

    @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.

    @heyandras @SlackHQ I had the same issue, but it's like $3.50 or something per user a month - so for just me it was easier to pay it

  • karrisaarinen
    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.

  • YouPulseX
    Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported

    @pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Then "project channel" is a default, not a scope. The issue list command still follows the caller's workspace visibility.

  • mutru
    Otto Hilska (@mutru) reported

    @SlackHQ The new Activity view is an amazing improvement. One thing that would make it better: the same thread can appear multiple times (for example the original post and a reply). It would help to allow deduplicating threads from the list.

  • franferbel
    F. Fernández-Beltrán (@franferbel) reported

    Hey @SlackHQ — it’s been 3 days waiting for a response from your Help Center. For a platform that sells efficiency and seamless communication, this feels… ironic. Is this really the standard for customer support? 🤔

  • bradbeckett
    Brad Beckett (@bradbeckett) reported

    With how much sensitive data @SlackHQ stores, it's surprising they don't yet support Passkey login or have a BIMI email verification certificate so their legitimate emails get a blue verified check mark in major email service providers. @digicert pls reach out to them!

  • digitalandreas
    Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported

    @SlackHQ Can you fix the main parts of Slack before adding more features pls? 🙏

    @discord @beeper I think I won't have this issue with @SlackHQ...

  • ellenjdasilva
    Ellen DaSilva (@ellenjdasilva) reported

    Sketchy 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.

  • johancutych
    Johan Cutych (@johancutych) reported

    first you need to fix the rate limits @SlackHQ

  • ahmedtokyo
    Tokyo (@ahmedtokyo) reported

    There’s this huge bug in slack where if you click on a draft message from your drafts on iPhone, Slack just fully deletes the draft message and opens an empty composer. This made me lose a lot of work. @SlackHQ you can fix this with claude. Just paste this tweet there.

  • technopaul

    @SlackHQ Anyone else having app problems on MacOS when you go to resize the window it moves it instead of sizing? Been like this for a month or more now!

  • SignalHouseSMS
    Signal House (@SignalHouseSMS) reported

    @SlackHQ @notion the only repetitive question saved here that matters is 'is the otp service still down.' second only to 'is the otp service still down for everyone or just me'

  • FredsDaily

    7:30a Getting eMail down to zero, passing out assignments in @SlackHQ

    Please @SlackHQ can you add a proper GIF selector I need to send better gifs right after I take down production

  • realslavko
    Slavko Kovačević (@realslavko) reported

    @SlackHQ Fix notifications first

  • SaviPabla

    @trq212 Please @SlackHQ help us. I’m so tired of telling ppl to download. I’ve now started making videos of the html files and then sharing file as well lol

  • Oxymarun_
    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

  • _bhuvanesh_
    Bhuvanesh Sridharan (@_bhuvanesh_) reported

    as 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.

  • FredsDaily
    HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    8:30a Loading up the team in @SlackHQ and getting eMail down to zero. Planning out the day, so I can work out the plan.

    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.

    Is @SlackHQ down?

  • lfdoyfydoydtd
    Kleptocracy (@lfdoyfydoydtd) reported

    @salesforce @SlackHQ Instead of buying other crappy software companies, create the best sales rep. SFDC 1.0>2.0>3.0... ITS ALL SO BROKEN. Broken company that had a chance to replace salespeople but didn’t use the data and systems they already had to make it happen with agents. WTF is agentforce?

    Is @SlackHQ broken today - I am using Focus mode - seems like the emoticons are breaking.

    @kitayoshi_son @SlackHQ We've sent 2 emails so far nothing, they arent going to respond to you because this is a MASS event, you arent alone, we didnt even get the email people talk about and some others say that as well, we just got wiped. I don't think they will help you.
