🧵What I Learned at Microsoft Last month, I left Microsoft after four wonderful years on the Office team. It was my first job after college (big decision) and I got lucky. Not everyone does. Some of my learnings and experiences👇

If you build products, make sure you read this.

@kurushdubash @patriciosainzr @SlackHQ 👋I work at Slack. Could you share a screenshot or more details on what's not working?

@patriciosainzr @SlackHQ so bad

@SlackHQ can you please revert your most recent update, it is so bad. This is terrible for anyone who is inbox 0. Please don't make me use Teams

@nlevin @SlackHQ Hmm what kind of link is it? I see the option if I long-press on the url of a Google Drive video. (This isn’t great I agree - you should get the option when you long press on the actual unfurl object)

@AgentAkki @SlackHQ It also doesn’t work on all attachment types either. Or at least not seeing it.

@SlackHQ plz let us remove link previews while on mobile…

@MikeKhristo @SlackHQ Hi 👋 I work at Slack. Are you referring to messages you would write/read from other people? Or agent/AI output?

hey @SlackHQ why is there still no proper markdown rendering built-in?

@RobSwish @SlackHQ that's a bug! Sending this to the team.

@AgentAkki @SlackHQ I should clarify I meant the iOS app, and now I've disabled dms from activity (help from Slack in dms) and it looks like this. One big All button.

Hey @SlackHQ why do I have a DMs tab and a DMs filter in Activity?

@tanoseihito @discord @SlackHQ Glad you like it!

Last Quarter we switched from @discord to @SlackHQ, and never looking back It's so easy when you have good structure on texts.

@HYPER_STARLINK @SlackHQ Hi 👋 I work at slack. Tell me more?

How does @SlackHQ works ? Cause This Interface I'm seeing is crazier than Discord 😫

@arin_pantja @SlackHQ Glad you like it! We have some talented designers ✨

lovely lil spring cleaning hover state animation @SlackHQ 👀🫧

@fujikanaeda @SlackHQ Stay tuned 👀

hey @SlackHQ , with agents now able to write rich documentation, can we get static HTML doc rendering in-app? No one wants to see this instead of a beautiful report doc.

@RTFern @SlackHQ Sorry about that, Ryan! I work at slack. Tell me more about what’s not working for you?

@SlackHQ And now it has hit my desktop. I do not like this change @SlackHQ !

@SlackHQ the new activity tab on mobile is not great.

@1804davey @SlackHQ Thank you! The team has worked hard on it. All native code.

The @SlackHQ mobile app for iOS is a very well built app. So smooth!

@Jessica_Whitney @SlackHQ Hi - thanks for the feedback! I work at slack. Tell me more?

hello @SlackHQ, first time long time. the new activity tab configuration BIG TIME stinks

@AbhayM1ttal @SlackHQ Thanks for the feedback and sorry we didn’t meet the mark! Taking this to the team.

@SlackHQ you really need to work on your ai transcription and meeting summary/action items it's very bad at understanding 1. indian accent 2. hinglish 3. summary and action item generation

we recently upgraded to @SlackHQ pro for our team and i just tried the slack group huddle and native ai notes and summary HORRIBLE going back to our google meet + @FathomDotAI setup

@RobSwish @SlackHQ Does restarting the app fix it?

@QuinnyPig Thanks for the feedback! Talking to the team about this.

Notification options in your app are set to "DMs and mentions," there's nowhere to disable "you would like to charge someone for an active seat this month" style notifications. I'm saddened by how far you've fallen.

Congratulations @SlackHQ, your growth team just lost you push notification privileges.

@nlevin @SlackHQ AH yes - it only shows up if you long-press on the link itself. We are making this better with unfurl presentation and actions soon.

@AgentAkki @SlackHQ Oh weird I looked everywhere and didn’t see it. Was long pressing the message itself with no luck 👇

@tommoor @heyamandalp @SlackHQ Hiya - I work at Slack. You can drag as Tom said OR right-click on the channel in the sidebar and 'click open in split view'

@heyamandalp @SlackHQ They already have this actually, just drag a channel from the sidebar to create a split view

wishlist @SlackHQ feature! would be awesome to have split screens and view two channels at once!

@ethan_blak Thanks for the feedback, Ethan! Happy to gather details in DM 🙏

Please stop trying to make slack more than what it is. It's a perfect communication tool. If you keep trying to fill it with more stuff you're going to ruin it.

@burnthalies Definitely one of my favourites.

I love the Slack party blob emoji.
