A redesign that is universally hated in my organization. Every standup has someone complaining about it.
> Slack: Our biggest redesign yet came to be HN does this thing where it automatically strips out "how" from titles, presumably because someone once decided that the "how" is unnecessary or clickbait. The original title here is "Slack: How our..." The most interesting thing for me is that this error-prone moderation rule has made me realize how linguistically load-bearing the word "how" is in many sentences.
Does simply stripping out the word ever work?

I guess the classic reaction to any design change is 'I hate this'... but damn I hate the slack redesign :< I can't see a quick overview of all my workspaces with notifications and have to hover with the mouse to see them - even though most of the rest of slack is designed to be used keyboard-only!
Such a stupid change. Just show me the workspaces by default gosh darnit.
Please stop making every update require more screen space. Every time, more chrome, bigger fonts, more padding, more views that take over the whole viewport.
I guess when everybody had an 800x600 screen we had to make the most of them.
Maybe they could bring back the IRC bridge.
I can no longer tell which of my slacks has pending messages at a glance, and my actually important channels' notifications are hidden in a sea of irrelevant ones when they used to be the only attention-attractors on the interface. I gather that you think the list of people and channels is just one aspect of your lovely platform, and we should use the other interfaces like "DMs" and "Reactions" too, but .. that list is the core of your interface, please stop hiding it every time I do anything.
