On a related note, for an app I have open all day long but interact with on an event-driven basis - Slack's UI is just too darn big. I miss the days when the only chat UI was a small column (eg. ICQ).
- adrianmonk 9y agoYeah, it's really wasteful of screen real estate. In a way that's worse than high RAM usage because I can spare 1GB of RAM if I really have to (and I can upgrade RAM easily enough if I can't spare it). But if an app takes up 1/4 to 1/3 of the width of my monitor, there's not much I can do to change that. Though at least there is a workaround: put it all the way to the right, then let other windows obscure the rarely-needed left portion of the Slack UI.
- M4v3R 9y agoI think Slack tries to mimic IRC more than ICQ, and all IRC clients I know had big windows, because they assumed you want to see what's happening on the channel at all times.
- forgot-my-pw 9y agoI wish Slack has multi-window view, like many IRC clients.
