So it's not just me! I have issues with Slack quite regularly, from messages simply not appearing on web (usually iOS works fine) to the app not being able to reconnect without a hard refresh. Add to that the slow 'boot-up' and memory usage and all in all the experience is quite disappointing, especially for such a loved product where good connectivity should be a core requirement.

I think I read somewhere the client is hybrid? That does not explain the very bad connectivity but could explain boot up and memory. I find it quite weird that so many techies adore it to be honest.

  Oh yeah, it's most definitely a 'web app' packaged as an executable. I mean, I get why people like it. When it works it's a pretty decent experience (and I grew up with IRC).
