Real talk though...if you polled slack users and said "You could have instantaneous room switching, but you have to give up animated gifs", what percentage of users would actually take that trade?
- ulrikrasmussen 6y agoAbsolutely, you're probably right if you meant to imply that the percentage of such users is low. But on the other hand, if Slack became as fast as desktop apps from the 1990s tomorrow, how many users do you think would raise their arms in joy and exclaim that their computers suddenly became much faster? Latency is less directly visible to users - which is probably why it receives less attention - but silently adds to the users frustrations when working with the system.
- kreco 6y agoTh worst part is that if say "You could have both, speed and gifs" no one would "believe" it could happen.
- deanCommie 6y agoWhile I hear you that this isn't a technical limitation, every organization has choices and tradeoffs to make with regards to their priorities. It's not that latency isn't important to Slack, but it's not AS important as everything else.
