Slack is like the complete opposite of Tom Cruise. Their releases get better with time.

Tom Cruise has had a golden age in which we trusted, and at times even followed his new releases. We relied on his ability to deliver with each of his new movies. However, slowly but surely, his extensive career has been a large declining red line on the chart tracking quality over time.

Unlike the famous actor, Slack’s new releases are always packed with new (pleasant) surprises, each update solving a problem you didnt realize they had, adding features you didn’t realize you needed. Their writing about their new updates are always entertaining to read, and my faith in their team is always growing. They also seem to remain relatively scientology and couch-jumping free.

Their use of hoverstates are efficient and effective, never over-explaining but pin pointing necessary tips. Their sense of hierarchy within the messages windows are very nice, tracking back in the history is a breeze (I do wish there was a way for me to jump back to a certain date easily. Perhaps a date picker that appears when I click on the date headers inside the messages.

Thanks Slack, for not being Tom Cruise.
