“The app we had before” had 50M+ users, developed by a large iOS team, including a lot of experienced developers working on performance, and generating billions. I think it was a valid baseline.
I view your analogy completely different.
There is a set of problems that require excellence from the start. No one will go to your hotel in Antarctica if it’s built like a shack house and they don’t feel safe there!
If you can’t achieve that kind of quality don’t even bother trying to build it.
You are being unreasonable. People don’t have time to analyze every point they make, and they especially don’t need to if it’s pretty much agreed to by now by everyone in tech except couple of Apple haters like yourself.
If you disagree with something call it out and let the parent comments defend it, instead of complaining how hacker news is full of fanboys. It’s what forums are for after all.
This is becoming so often it's embarrassing really.
The way it's handled in the app is also not ideal to say the least - only indication that something is wrong is that the text you are trying to send is greyed out.
True, it's really bad UX that cost me and a coworker each 30 minutes this morning. Nobody expects the backend to be completely reliable, but the client should be trustworthy when it comes to reporting the status of the backend.
Yep, and from the status message, you can get to Twitter inside the Slack client and read memes directly from Elon Musk's timeline instead of going through your organization's dedicated meme channel.
