Dark mode, better performances, option to disable divisive new features: Slack might be making it harder to focus at work but the product itself improved quite a lot in 2019, kudos to the PMs.
They allowed a half-baked (if that) feature to be shipped out and then wouldn't back down from it for a week.
This reeks of PMs pushing a feature that isn't ready yet.
The rollout happened over multiple weeks, no? I know it was multiple weeks between I first saw it on any slack and it was on all of my slacks anyway.
The outcry was “ignored” (or rather, “we know what’s best” attitude) for about a week though.
It's not a matter of changing my code, too, because I want to see the images posted by _other_ people
I don't mean to bash slack too hard, but it honestly feels like the performance has gotten worse over time for me. Certain actions like Up Arrow (edit previous message) and loading threads on the "Threads" page seem to take way longer than they used to.
This happens at work, home, and my laptop.
Performance has never got better for me, just worse, but I keep hearing about performance improvements?!?
The other 2 amount to solving self-inflicted problems.
You are kind.
