Still waiting on that dark theme....

I love it. Just like Discord except I really want a dark theme please!
Painful to use when you have many Teams
Review Matt
First off, the browser based slack app is great. And when you have a small number of Teams, the OS X app works well. However, once you belong to a significant number of teams, the wheels fall off. Some of the issues that I see consistently include: * incredibly sluggish times to switch channels * high cpu usage * the notification numbers can often be wrong causing you to miss messages * notifications are sometimes delayed causing messages to appear sometimes days after they were sent I sometimes find myself using the browser version because the desktop app is so painful. However, since I regularly kill all my browser windows, this is problematic in its own way. I really hope that Slack bites the bullet and writes a native app and puts to bed this Electron app.
search limitations syntax highlighting

Discord does a far better job at virtually everything I could want to do as a programmer. Slack has many limitations and deficiencies that impact usability. Viewing an image file should not result in the message list being reloaded to an earlier point. Limiting searches is a stupid design move. I honestly can't see how this is the app that been pushed for use by professional teams...
Lots of little frustrations

The Slack service is great but the ios app needs either a better thoughtout navigation system or more customizations. There’s so many little things that could be slightly tweaked to make this a better experience.
Set Away

Works well, very little delay. Only issue I have is setting ‘away’ is buried in settings.
They broke threads
Amithatguy
Why is the return key replaced by a # key when replying to threads. If I need to type # I'll simply do shift 3. But you completely removed the ability to type a return character. So I can't format text whatsoever. Which means I can't reply to anything then. I literally can't reply to a thread right now because of this. So I'll have to wait until hours later when I'm at a computer in order to reply. You basically broke the entire app, or basically made it read only. Please give back the return character ASAP!
Really helpful app

Probably the best way to communicate and work on projects that I've found.
Alerts & Badges
Max Andreola
Lately I’ve been getting push notifications for EVERYTHING in channels that I have set to no notifications or mentions only Also, I’m always logged into multiple Slack teams, but depending on when it is some are higher priorities than others It’d be nice if when I’m in do not disturb mode that it wouldn’t only temporarily stop push notifications, but if it didn’t badge the app either Seeing a badge of 12 given the time of day and which Slack is a priority at the moment can make my heart sink, but it’s often someone just filling up a #random channel with miscellaneous chatter from a team I’m in away or do not disturb mode at the moment
