Vlad (@vladoustinov) reported@MerlinEgalite @SlackHQ The problem is they gave up on product a long time ago haha But yes embedding tools/workflows inside interfaces people are already used to use (slack/email/Notion etc) is the way to go
-
Rahul Chetia (@ayoImNotTrippin) reported@SlackHQ there’s a widespread issue with slack today. Not sure about Mac but my entire team with windows seems to be impacted. Slack becomes irresponsive on windows a few minutes in. Tried ‘repair’ and force close, but no help there. We are using app in our phones to communicate.

𝐎𝐧𝐞𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐞(👑,👑) (@OneTrueHomie) reportedisn't this the same problem @PromptQL promised @sama in order to kill @SlackHQ ?
-
Kurush Dubash (@kurushdubash) reported@SlackHQ can you please revert your most recent update, it is so bad. This is terrible for anyone who is inbox 0. Please don't make me use Teams
-
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.

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.

Ash (@edweirdsnowman) reported@SlackHQ slack huddles has had video audio sync issues since it’s been launched. Please deploy at least 7 agents to fix this immediately.
-
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 Getting email down to zero and loading both the website support and production teams in @SlackHQ.

matt taylor (@mattployed) reportedslack going down for 30 minutes was like the apocalypse for tech startups @SlackHQ PLEASE dont scare me like that again
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported8a Loading the team in @SlackHQ, getting eMail down to zero and getting Daniel up for school.
-
Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported@SlackHQ Can you fix the main parts of Slack before adding more features pls? 🙏
-
Darrell Brogdon (@dbrogdon) reportedYesterday I signed up for a service. Today, all my @SlackHQ had a notification asking if I wanted to connect some bot of that service to my Slack accounts. One thing has nothing to do with the other, as far as I'm concern. If this keeps up, I'll delete all of my Slack accounts.
-
Tyler (@tyhouch) reportedyo @SlackHQ please add support for viewing .html files in chat. everyones tossing these around and the download->open in chrome friction is slowing me down bigtime
-
Peter Dedene (@dedene) reported@tobi +1000 to this 🙌 Please @SlackHQ, we are practically begging for this fix at this point
-
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 🫠

Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@kurushdubash @patriciosainzr @SlackHQ 👋I work at Slack. Could you share a screenshot or more details on what's not working?
-
Amanda (@hey_amandam) reported@TejasKumar_ @SlackHQ Yes 👏 The issue with this (and all things like it) for me is that there seems to be some idea that anyone sees "AI" and immediately associates that with some value. What user pain of mine are you solving? I literally do not care if you are using AI or not to solve it, I just want the best experience. Explore AI as a cta is a waste of space and my mental energy
-
Jake Mor (@jakemor) reportedcan someone at @SlackHQ please for the love of god fix drag and drop to attach a file? how has this been an issue for months without anyone realizing? Steps to reproduce: Drag file to attach. Nothing happens. no file attached.
-
Michael Grinich (@grinich) reported@SlackHQ Please fix the rate limits. The current Slack API is practically useless since you reduced them.
-
Leon (@MozzyFX) reportedPlease @SlackHQ can you add a proper GIF selector I need to send better gifs right after I take down production
-
Jordy.app (@Jordy_vD_) reported. @SlackHQ slack gets a lot of things right, but the iOS app’s search functionality is very bad. Can I please chat with someone who can then hopefully fix it?
-
Drew Hirschi (@ashirsc) reported@SlackHQ pls never ask me again if I want to DM a thread when I tag someone with no text. This is a terrible feature.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Taha Tesser (@TahaTesser) reported@KhalidWarsa @SlackHQ Because each workspace has own login. Even if you login on one device. You cannot sync all those workspaces under one account on another device
-
Noah Levin (@nlevin) reported@SlackHQ mobile unread state bugs continue to be quite a painful and frustrating issue… plz fix 🙏
-
Neil Chudleigh (@neilsuperduper) reported.@SlackHQ this message pops whenever i try to do any navigation. persists across restarts. also please fix the search results ↓ keypress issue, the first ↓ is being eaten by the system so when I am moving fast I am constantly going to the wrong place you need to make sure bugs like this dont continue, you have serious competition coming that is going to take business from you if you continue to let your product rot.

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported6:30a Got eMail down to zero, and started the team with assignments in @SlackHQ.

Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported@hugorcd @SlackHQ @github It has been broken for so long they probably think it's a feature internally
