This backend outage reveals how horrible the Slack UI is implemented. You post a message.... you think it got sent. Then 1min later, it tells you it was not.

Just experienced this and decided to context switch to hackernews for a few minutes. Ironic that this post is the top on homepage.

This backend outage reveals how horrible the Slack UI is implemented. You post a message.... you think it got sent. Then 1min later, it tells you it was not.

The message is in a light grey colour until it's confirmed. I'm not saying it's amazingly obvious but at least the information's there. In fact I'm mostly posting this comment so others know what to look for.

(I know this because I just spent 60 seconnds staring at my message trying to figure out why the formatting was off before it told me it wasn't sent. It sent immediately when I retried though.)

Dear Slack: Your service is down, it's not "slow performance". Be honest to your customers, or I will make sure our team switches to Microsoft Teams.

the update says:

>Some users may be unable to connect to Slack, while others are still experiencing general performance issues.
