Slack is one of the new breed of applications that really tries its best to get you to pay attention to it all the time. Nevertheless, it's pretty manageable if you spend a little time going around and muting channels and turning off OS-integrated notifications.
IMO, both Slack and Email have their places. Slack is better for long-running conversations with a lot of rapid back and forth of mostly short messages involving a dozen-ish people. Email is better for making requests expected to be responded to in hours or days and sending longer and more detailed descriptions.
- stared 5y agoThe worst thing is you cannot mute @everyone.
- RhysU 5y agoThe worst things are the often-non-repeatable or content-sensitive key mappings. Press up once to edit the last message. Press enter. Press up again nothing happens. Enter means enter except within a code block when it means shift-enter. It feels as awful as using Matlab and missing the += from Octave. Like no one tried to use their own product. It makes me sad.
