Slack. I've got two or three people DM'ing me, threads going in more than one channel, and four other channel's @here'ing me. So I mute all the channels except for when I'm directly @'d, but why isn't that the damn default. I can't view more than one conversation at a time because the stupid client is a single window that doesn't even have tabs.

When I paste a link, I don't want it to attach what's at the link because that takes up like half the window.

Lately the client has tried to auto-format things. Bulleted lists. Code. When I type ''' to start a code block, sometimes Slack automatically terminates the code block for me and sends my message before I'm done and sometimes not. I think you continue bulleted lists with the return key but code blocks with ctrl-return, I can't remember, it seems inconsistent though.

Somehow the Slack client doesn't register for links to my company's slack domain so links to channels end up opening in my default browser then bouncing back to the client.

God I hate Slack so fucking much.

I want my IRC client back.

Jira's not great either but I've never used a bug tracker that didn't suck in one way or another and it doesn't suck any better or worse than others. At least I can open issues in more than one browser window/tab.



Why can't I parallel multiple workspaces on one of many cheap monitors.
