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.

Giuseppe Skyline (@giskyexplorer) reported@gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.

Luigi ➔ nora.finance (@luigiremor) reported@discord @beeper I think I won't have this issue with @SlackHQ...
-
Cass Anderson (@casspa) reported@Yonar87 @SlackHQ same issue here. Just sent them an email. Their status landing page says they've been 100% find this quarter which makes me think maybe they just don't update that page?
-
Gap | Suby (@gaspardlezin) reportedCan someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.
-
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.

Anmol (@anmolarora_tw) reportedNot sure if it’s just me but uploading images on Slack has been super slow and there’s no progress shown and no clue what’s happening. At least a small progress bar would help. @SlackHQ

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.
-
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.
-
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?

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.

Antonio Ventre (@antonioventre_) reported@resulvol @RealFeatBit @SlackHQ Sure guys anyone who need help can text be and they’ll restore your access for 30 days so you can still work on the account while the migrate
-
kingoftheworld (@4kingtheworld) reported@antonioventre_ @SlackHQ Hey man, I’d really appreciate help getting Slack restored. I’ve got a company with 40 employees and it’s catastrophic man anything you can do to help Tried dming but it didn’t work
-
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.
-
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?
-
Lalbee (@rebeurebel) reported@SlackHQ you guys are mental. You barely warn your users about migration and delete 20% of your slack active orgs without repeated warnings? You guys think everyone reads your cute email newsletters? What about BIG RED WARNINGS daily on the slack app itself? Ridiculous. Please help us get our accounts back.
-
Dan (@pizzaboy) reported@karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Hey @karrisaarinen are the new project slack channels scoped to just that project I.e if you use the Linear slack bot in the channel will it only have access to issues and data from that project? I found that to be an issue a couple of months ago that the bot wasn’t able to be scoped down? Or was this a skill issue on my end
-
LoopGantt (@loopgantt) reported@NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.

Dhruv (@dhruv2038) reportedIs @SlackHQ broken today - I am using Focus mode - seems like the emoticons are breaking.
