What to use slack for7/19/2023 ![]() Many times, I have found myself brainstorming & sharing ideas on Slack in the middle of an ongoing conversation when I should ideally have given it more thought and instead shared a long, thoughtful response. ![]() It promotes short-form conversations by design. And honestly, the interface isn’t great to sift through the history of messages. It’s upto the person to read through previous messages and get up to speed. We have to make peace with the fact that you will lose context when there’s a discussion that’s happened without you when you had snoozed notifications. In our team, we have formed a set of rules around notifications and when to expect replies but that’s still a workaround. Having your notifications always on is almost never possible. Slack is inherently a team chat app and it infuses a culture of constant interruptions. However, I am curious to know what you think are not-so-great aspects of using Slack and the product itself. Slack is of course a great tool and we’ve been using it ourselves for 3+ years (and as the primary mode of communication in the last one year). I ran a quick query on our DB and saw that 56% of Remote Clan members are using Slack. I think Slack is by far one of the most popular tools wrt remote working.
