I want to love it… – Slack Review

It seems like slack is trying to do too many things, but the real problem that I find is the interface is somewhat disjointed.For example the left hand list of channels conversations etc. it’s sort of annoying to manage. Previous conversations with other members or groups of members seem to stay listed in the left hand pane with no easy way to clean them up. it would be nice if we can set a time limit after which those historical conversations can at least be archived or moved to a different list that is not normally visible. When I want to send a message to a particular individual or small group, I have to use the ad button at the top of the screen multiple times to select those people. It would seem more convenient to me to have that member list be an expandable list on the left-hand side and I simply need to select or check off the members who I intend to send a message to. So basically I think the functionality is great, but the organization and layout of the application itself just seems clunky. Even the appearance and spacing of messages and replies isn’t usually segregated enough.
