Slack Gets a Makeover

It looks nice, but it&#x27;s more important how usable is it?<p>With current Slack UI, getting to all your unresponded messages <i>and</i> your starred channels (you also want to be saying things, not just reading them, so &quot;Activity&quot; might not be enough) is one click away and above the fold (depending how big you make the Slack window).<p>However, it was annoying to search for people you haven&#x27;t interacted with in a while, esp as you use auto-hiding for such conversations. Though improving auto-hiding could have been better.<p>I&#x27;ll use it for a while before making a call, but it&#x27;s not like I have an option: hopefully it remaind possible to run the old client for those who really find the new UI unusable.
