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
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.
I just desperately want an opt-out of the auto-mute when being alone in a huddle
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.
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
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 still prefer discord but good move on thier part.
Well I dont think your corpo daddy will accept China data access on discord
