If the Chat team is ever able to get inline-threads out the door: https://chromeunboxed.com/google-chat-rooms-become-spaces https://chromeunboxed.com/google-chat-rooms-become-spaces, it should make rooms/spaces a much better experience.
- vlovich123 5y agoHow about opening a room and not having it scroll forever out from under me? How about clicking on a chat link to a long thread (or scrolling up to it) and having that scroll away randomly out from under me? There’s very basic usability and performance things that frustrate me on a fundamental level. The rest is at the margins. Also, the builtin @silent way to chat a thread without notifying anyone is gold. Same goes for reminders. Also it’s chat + a consistent way to communicate out for a team. Workplace solves actual problems working with other people. Google Chat simply does slack-like chat, and poorly at that. Edit: also all those things are drastically simpler than inline threads but not as sexy which tells you something about what the incentive structure looks like here. Disclaimer. I’m an ex googler. Thought chat was good when it came out but it’s regressed since then.
