Kinda just looks like Teams…
Yeah I agree - the Activity tab and the DMs look like they are exact copies of the Teams interface. I mean, it’s an intuitive way to display info but I don’t see much design innovation with this announcement
Yeah, taking some of the good stuff from teams, I prefer slack overall but teams does have some interesting ideas
Like periodically not recognizing why audio device on my computer. Or just not sending notifications sometimes. Or not recognizing @ autocompletes. Stuff like that. :)
Sorry, it’s been a long day.
Lmao! Teams does suck 😆
Or not showing the correct status for your colleagues. Or having back and forwards buttons that don’t work within an app
The screenshots look like it now takes more clicks to get to groups/conversations than before. That appears like it will make me less productive instead of more.
I hope I’m wrong about this.
Same - right now I have a list of DMs that shows full names and is immediately accessible - to me that’s significantly easier to look through than a mockup of a phone interface…
I’m using Slack on desktop and for work - not a fun of makig it look like I’m texting my buddies from my phone.
NO WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO US IT LOOKS LIKE TEAMS NOW
I just desperately want an opt-out of the auto-mute when being alone in a huddle
I have my doubts. Making Slack less distracting would be directly antithetical to Slack’s monetary interests. Long term, I’d love to be proven wrong, but I have my suspicions that where this is going is slack wants to gain more users, and then slowly ratchet the noise back up
So what’s the alternative if this is no good? Is there a FOSS Slack?
Yes, there is https://mattermost.com/
I’ve used Ripcord before, and it was a bit janky but hellishly fast and light weight.
As long as cmd + k still allows me to find DMs and/channels I think it’s not too bad. I feel like I prefer the current design mostly because I don’t need a quick glance of the latest message, just that I have unread message, but I won’t know until I try
I’m a big fan from what is visible in that article.
I don’t know if this will be any better but I know I can never find shit in Slack.
I still prefer discord but good move on thier part.
Well I dont think your corpo daddy will accept China data access on discord
I just wish there was a way to get it to handle processing of folder and file paths to your environment. They say it’s a security thing which I get, but my team is constantly sharing links to files and folders and it’s a PITA having to copy and paste the links into Explorer. If there was some way of making it work securely it would be a big productivity boost a d QOL improvement.
I don’t get it. How are file paths supposed to work across different machines?
Network mapped volumes, I assume
