- seangrogg 10y agoNone that I can think of, really. This is one of the cases where a desktop version of a web app exists and I'm not aware of why. Spotify makes sense as it can reliably use your file system for storage and thus download songs so you're making fewer network requests. Perhaps Slack could keep a short log to prevent "scrolling up"-related network requests?
