Why Is Slack Still So Terrible?
It is still indeed terrible. Just a piece of hot garbage.
One of the biggest annoyances with Slack is search. Sure, the ability to ctrl + f inside of conversations is nice, but the search is still terrible and doesnโt work properly. The global search is perhaps the worst of all, I struggle to find conversations I know I have had and usually end up resorting to scrolling through the history until I get what I need.
This in particular bedevils me every damn day. Search must be much, much harder than I understand because no one can make a search that works remotely well it seems.
Slack is like if MBAs redesigned email. Itโs woefully bad and I hate using it every day.
