Slack 4+

Does the job

I like slack. It does the job in the end of the day. I have chat going, can check history, find parts of communication, call, highlight, notifications-silent-categorise and much more.

Of-course at times slack lags and that’s annoying, but I bet there is no perfect app.

All in all, good job team!

Weird direction with new UI

I don’t understand why would you effectively lower the amount of space for actual chat and text by making the non-chat UI:

1. Excessively wide - the channel/DMs list is incredibly wide, unnecessarily so. I have her seen any channels with names so long they would need this much horizontal space. In all Workspaces I’m in, about half or more of that part of UI is just empty space.

2. Adding the new, impossible to hide sidebar, to access things I have never, ever used despite using Slack for work for over 2 years. This also killed the ability to pull the list of Workspaces from the side of the app using a gesture on a touchpad (I mostly use my iPad with the Magic Keyboard), now I have to explicitly go and click the Workspace icon first to choose a workspace.

This really makes the chat area feel cramped and small, especially on an 11” iPad, and this is literally the most important part of a CHAT application. Really an impossible to understand design decision, especially coupled with lack of choice as to which elements of the UI we actually want to see at all times.
