While we are asking for slack features, can we PLEASE have an option to notify once, and only once on mobile for group messages? I have several co-workers who will chat me while i'm driving, or otherwise unable to respond, and having my phone binging every few seconds is incredibly annoying.
I wish Slack had this, too.

Tip for desktop users: uBlock Origin (amongst others) lets you block media elements larger than n KB. You can then choose to selectively load in specific blocked media elements. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-...
Does this feature also work on uBlock Origin for mobile browsers?

I should have rephrased. I believe Slack's UX team is looking for solutions to problems nobody actually cares about. Meanwhile the tempo of so-called improvements that end up being harmful to the product seems to have made the entire app unstable. The fact that they have to publicly back away from new features after customers revolt, like their ill-fated rich text editor, seems to confirm that nobody wants this stuff…
Thank you, Slack, for this UX work.
If anyone from Slack reads this: One tiny idea. Just because I entered a dot or a word into a chat doesn't mean I don't expect to find that chat or group in the exact same spot next time. By all means put a symlink in a virtual Drafts folder but leave the original alone.
Users are lower on the sidebar, I go to write something and it’s not showing up there anymore.
I then have to stop, start looking closer until I remember or click cmd+k (mac) and then type the name.
This is so annoying.
If it's not FOSS and an open protocol, it's not relevant. That would be simple and correctly organized.

Light Flow on Android, a notification manager app, has this. "Alert Throttling". Max of one notification every X seconds/minutes. I wish Slack had this, too.
It started out as a way to do custom LED sequences, but you can also set custom vibration patterns (at the millisecond level) for every type of notification.

Light flow is pretty amazing and I'm surprised phone makers haven't at least integrated some of the features. It started out as a way to do custom LED sequences, but you can also set custom vibration patterns (at the millisecond level) for every type of notification.
The power of vibration is heavily under-appreciated (less by Apple than by everyone else).
Our phones are great at precisely creating many different vibration patterns and humans are pretty good at distinguishing them. We're even more sensitive when it's happening on our wrists.
Yet instead of using this to create personal and expressive notification experiences, most manufacturers opt to barely give the user a choice and just turn on the vibration motor for way too long (or do that twice!), simply creating a sensation of pain every time.

Ouch. When will web developers learn to use HTML5 video? Not only it weighs 10x smaller, but user can actually stop and replay more interesting parts, instead of waiting for another loop. They at least should use loading="lazy" attribute.
Why don't browsers add playback controls for .gif animations as well? It's kind of hard to rewind a .gif because of its layering structure, but rewinding video is similarly hard due to B/P-frames
Should browsers add speed controls for the blink tag as well?
By “simpler” I’m sure they mean “lower memory footprint” and “more stable” - right? I would really just be happy if they made the video calls work more reliably. It’s really important now that my whole team is working from home. It’s a common occurrence that video calls fail to connect and everyone going into a call has to restart their client. Over the years Slack has become more and more bloated. I think the scope…
