That Slack chart is horrifying because unlike most cases of "features are more complicated than they appear", everything in this chart is user-facing. No Slack

That Slack chart is horrifying because unlike most cases of "features are more complicated than they appear", everything in this chart is user-facing. No Slack user is going to be able to follow all of this to know for sure how exactly their notifications get filtered.
- njovin 7y agoI think the elegance is that all of this logic boils down to a few user inputs (global + channel notification prefs) and overall everything ends up feeling pretty intuitive. That’s just my opinion as a Slack user but as someone who’s worked on notification and badge systems I appreciate the honing that’s been done here.
- tonyarkles 7y agoI agree with you. I’m actually quite excited to see that chart, because now I might be able to figure out why I often don’t get messages sent to my phone, but the show as unread when I get back to the computer...
- skrtskrt 7y agoIf you're still "active" on the computer it notifies you there and doesn't think it needs to also reach you on mobile. But I think you can set your mobile notifications to notify anyway.
- lathiat 7y agoDiscord is nice with this and if your desktop goes idle without you reading messages it then pushes them to your phone. It’s one of the best features I haven’t seen in many other products. Particularly as it mutes your mobile notifications when you are on desktop. Which a lot of products also get wrong.
