It would be much less distracting / annoying to group the messages and notify on configurable intervals If a conversation is happening I want to know about it, but I also don’t want my phone to completely blow up with 50 notifications beeping at me in 10 minutes. There is no granularity on getting alerts for channels besides give me everything all the time, and give me nothing. Why would I want the same snooze settings? There are no different snooze settings for different days of the week. Big failing for me compared to something like FB messenger which will know to clear them. I have to go dismiss them all one at a time even though the app should know I’ve read them. Messages you read on web or on the app don’t dismiss notifications. I work at a company with thousands of employees, so if I search for someone with a common first name and I don’t know their last name, I have to go through a list of 30 people when I’ve talked to them before and I’d expect them to just come up first.

Searching for users when trying to start a DM doesn’t prioritize users you’ve talked to before. Putting a lot of detail in hopes it is read by developers as I do want to love the app. Some things are big misses for me though, especially notifications. Scientifically proven (or at least rumored) to make your working life simpler, more pleasant, and more productive.
