What is currently driving me crazy about slack is that:
1) Slack constantly makes subtle changes the UX that always takes a bit of time to figure out, I don't want to read update notes to find out how a critical comms tool has changed eg. yesterday the mac chat became psuedo wysiwhg and it broke my muscle memory and stuff bounces around while I'm typing, eg2. Drafts: FU, I didn't ask for you to reorder my UI around so I can't find stuff, DON"T CHANGE MY MENUS
2) Bugs, I left hipchat because they couldn't stop breaking stuff with every update. Many of Slack's changes are "breaking stuff" until you figure out what they've changed.
- matthuggins 7y agoUgh, I can't stand the menu reordering for drafts!
- Ensorceled 7y agoAll they needed was a highlight or an asterisk or something similar.
- pyridines 7y agoIt wasn't always this way. There used to be a pencil icon next to the person/channel you had a draft in.
- Ensorceled 7y agoRight! Thanks for the reminder. I don't understand why drafts weren't just a list of links to the draft and LEAVE the original channels where I explicitly put them when I was curating my channels.
- kup0 7y agoThe automatic menu reordering is infuriating
- tux1968 7y agoIt's such a common problem with graphical interfaces in general. If only we gave our users the same affordance we give developers with versioned API's. We shouldn't be breaking interfaces haphazardly, and that includes the visual interface.
