Slack 4.0 - A snappier, more efficient Slack desktop experience

Where is the dark mode... It has been years since we've asked for it :(

What’s new • Limited offline support — set your status, star items, and react to messages when you don’t have an internet connection • Less memory usage, better performance • Faster loading times • Improved Slack calls Other notable updates • Click the new  paperclip icon in the message field to add attachments • A redesigned autocomplete menu for @mentions and slash commands • No more loading messages — Slack loads too quickly for them to be readable • Visual improvements to the activity view, Quick Switcher, and channel sidebar • Unread message activity displays as a dot on the top-right of your workspace icon • Member profiles have a bigger profile image and include the option to message or call the individual • Drafts sync across Enterprise Grid workspaces

The website is confuse. Why not point to an Official Slack download site?

The release notes for the Slack 4.0 is available at https://slack.com/release-notes and download at https://slack.com/downloads What's the point of Snapcraft here?

Totally notice the difference... much faster and smoother standup this morning... good job Slack! Now where my Darkmode at? 😁

👏👏👏👏

Congrats on the new launch, @stewart. Love seeing founders as makers on Product Hunt. I think the offline mode will be particularly useful (especially on long flights). And, as silly as it sounds, bigger member profile images will be a welcome change as well. As teams get bigger, it's helpful to actually get a sense for what somebody looks like in case you see them IRL.

https://Slack.com/downloads is the best hub to download all the various versions of Slack 🙌

Strange the "website" link here is microsoft.com. Would think slack.com with an auto-detection of platform would have been a better call for the top button.

Awesome. Feeling a difference already.

The ability to work offline is nice, that was something I missed, since my Internet isn't the most reliable.

I'm hoping that slack will adapt their iPad app into a Mac app using Project Catalyst.

Been a longtime fan of Slack. Every update seems to make it slightly better, as well.

Is this also available for the web version? Use it under Wavebox and is not clear the differences, as it seems to show similar improvements across both the app and the web version.

Is this why the url changed recently? It never used to say 'app' before.

It definitely feels snappier, nice one. However, still no dark mode and most annoyingly of all: no single sign-on for all teams. I am a member of a tonne of Slack teams, it's annoying having to have separate logins for them. Why can't we have one login for all teams? Seems to make sense to me. Still, Microsoft Teams is a superior product to Slack. The more people realise Teams is so much nicer to use, the better. The ship has sailed for Slack if I am being honest.

This is awesome congrats guys

A new smoother and faster version @ Still runs on electron

It is faster, yes, finally. To be honest it was annoying how slowly it started the app or a call. Should have been fast from the start. There is a problem still, with the calls, when there is a drop in internet connection just for a second, the call can't recover. Because of this there are times when I have to use Skype to do the calls. Skype call recovers very well even if the connection drops on either side of the call. As soon as the internet is back the call continues. Also the sound is much better on Skype.

👍👍👍👍👍
