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.

Thank you for your comments. We appreciate your candid thoughts, and you've given us some helpful points to consider as we look to the future. While we can't guarantee when or if any changes will be implemented, we're listening closely and we very much appreciate the feedback.

I Beg you for little improvements

App is awsome but:

Can you please add some tiled (/chockolate/?) View for pics which are in some workspace? With visual differentiation-if pics were comented or were signed as good(/liked) than they should be bigger, to be able to localize them quickly?

Time line is ok, but sometimes you need to see only pictures one by one next to eachother... Like on pinterest, googlekeep and so one. It would be really nice to have this option. Your system is so advanced and well prepared that it shouldn't a be big deal for you.

Also for our comfort, it would be nice to be able to personalize a little colors of slack, for example, to be able to change color options (but pleace not fitted as you have them in slacks icons, it's not in my taste :p) and to "pin" them to different workspaces. To make them not as similar.

There is logo always up, your logo... And it would be GREAT to have there my icon of workspace instead. It would help much to not mix different plots together...

Last thing, it would be great to be able to add to channels pinterest and dropbox link, so we would be able to open this link in your app, to have it always "under our arms"/on the top... Or if its not possible, than just to be able add there a hyperlink that every member can use. The same way that its with another channels.

:D can you do this for me? I can send you a chockolate if you will give me adress. Look! You have 5 stars from me already! But i want to give you 10 ;-)
