I miss slack so much. Their attention to detail makes for a much more enjoyable product, paying for something we get for free with 365… still. I don’t know if Microsoft should be content with a product that’s so awful people literally only use it because of network effects.
- mulderc 1y agoI always found slack to be sort of awful and hated it. Then I used teams and understood that slack was actually a decent version of such apps.
- throwaway7783 1y agoCurious to know what's awful about slack specifically. For me, I don't like to get lost in a bazillion channels, pins are not global (`saved for later` is), there is no personal message queues etc. Do you have a laundry list?
- mulderc 1y agoNot so much a laundry listening more that it feels wrong as it is clearly an electron app and doesn’t feel like a native app and chooses to have its own conventions over embracing feeling like a native app. I think that causes some of the issues you are mentioning. Now I don’t personally see any communication app like slack that is any better than it. They all sort of suck but I feel like I had a better time with IRC apps back in the day than I do with modern communication apps.
- Capricorn2481 1y agoI just pin it in my browser now. I don't really get anything out of using the app version.
- mulderc 1y agoThat is an even worse experience IMHO.
- Capricorn2481 1y agoWhat? How? It's the exact same experience, but without needing to run a heavy electron app. These are...identical apps. That's the point of packaging with electron.
- mulderc 1y agoBecause it is now a browser tab instead of a stand alone app. Running things in the browser is even worse that electron imho.
