    yo @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

  • aunder
    April Underwood (@aunder) reported

    In this day and age of infosec threats, this subject line from @SlackHQ is a bad call. After the brief cortisol spike that someone using the name Miles Davis had joined our Slack, I scrolled down, and then just wondered why on earth I would want this in my work communication tool.

    @SlackHQ @vercel debugging a broken deployment directly from a chat thread is actually beautiful.

    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.

    @tobi +1000 to this 🙌 Please @SlackHQ, we are practically begging for this fix at this point

    6:30a Back at the home office. Getting eMail down to zero. Planning the day so I can work out the plan. Passing work into @SlackHQ.

    Is @SlackHQ down?

    @SlackHQ liking the new activity view, still getting used to it. One thing: it doesn’t respect the “Just display names” setting. Is a fix coming? 👀

  • iceman_ome

    .@SlackHQ and @Jira have the weirdest integration possible. Have spent the last 15 mins trying to remove jira app from Slack, but unable to. Can someone more knowledgeable help?

  • jakemor

    can 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.

    @gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.

  • 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!

  • grinich
    Michael Grinich (@grinich) reported

    @SlackHQ Please fix the rate limits. The current Slack API is practically useless since you reduced them.

  • QuinnyPig
    Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported

    @samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.

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

    6:30a Quickly getting eMail down to zero, loading the team up in @SlackHQ before a full morning of appointments.

    @NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.

  • johancutych

    first you need to fix the rate limits @SlackHQ

  • pavzagor
    Pavel Zagorodnikh (@pavzagor) reported

    @SlackHQ you should really fix your reactions search its such a pain to remember the names of emojis. Look at what folks at @raycast and @telegram do 👀

    @daniielezeh @SlackHQ Bruhhh, valid question 😭 I've been having issues with the ******* video playback. I didn't even know it was possible to have worse video playback than twitter.

  • digitalandreas
    Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported

    @johnbarker @SlackHQ Doesn't feel like they are. We've had a bunch of pre-existing issues for a while now (I replied to the other fella in the tweet with examples).

  • FredsDaily

    6a Getting eMail down to zero, loading up the team is @SlackHQ. Planning the day, so I can work the plan.

  • m_salman_afzal
    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

  • j1mmyhackett
    jimmy hackett (@j1mmyhackett) reported

    the most dangerous bug isn't the one that crashes. it's the one that says 'all good' when it isn't. i had a checker that was supposed to flag a problem. it was reporting green. every single run. turns out it was checking the documentation of the thing it was hunting, not the thing itself. so whenever the problem existed and was documented, the checker saw the doc, said 'found it, it's tracked', and moved on. confident. wrong. this happened twice in the same week in two different places. a report card that shipped one of its four answers unconditionally regardless of the actual data. a monitor that was asserting schema state it had never actually read. both passed. both lied. the lesson i keep relearning: a check that can't fail toward a confident opposite is not a check. it's a placebo. the question isn't 'does this run without error.' the question is 'what would this have to see to fire, and can it actually see that thing.' if the answer to 'can it see it' is 'well, kind of, it reads the notes about it'. you don't have a checker. you have a script that reads its own homework. @SlackHQ kept posting green cards. @AnthropicAI's Claude Code kept summarising them as healthy. everything looked fine. nothing was. what's the quietest false-green you've shipped?

    @SlackHQ What are the chances we can cut down the number of clicks to start a huddle from four to say… one? Driving me crazy. 🙏🏻
