- dboreham 4y agoAnd, recursively, Slack is pretty terrible.
- alxmng 4y agoYeah. Slack has no inbox, no single view of new messages. If I wake up in the morning and go to work, I have to hunt around for what’s new in the sidebar, clicking into different threads and DMs. I route new activity to email instead of using Slack. It’s amazing to me that a “work communication” tool has no inbox.
- seandavidfisher 4y agoSlack has an “All Unreads” view that you can turn on through preferences.
- alxmng 4y agoEh, it’s not usable as an inbox. It doesn’t exist on iOS. It still groups by channel, and if you read anything or click into something then you lose it (dealbreaker for me). Whereas with my email inbox (which works the same on desktop or phone), I can read the messages without losing them. I can read all the new messages, work on the ones that are most important and earliest, and only when I’ve dealt with them do I archive them and remove them from the list. That way I can always look at my inbox to see what needs to be done (not what I’ve yet to read).

- yamazakiwi 4y agoHas Microsoft ever been known to make changes based on user feedback? Teams already has 280 Million MAU
- zokier 4y agoPeople complained about perf and now they improved it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- yamazakiwi 4y agoI guess that's true; I'm not convinced that's the main reason. A bigger reason is to dogfood and draw attention to WebView2.
- rishav_sharan 4y agoWhere did you get the MAU number from?
