Slack crashes on my Ubuntu setup on the regular.

Grey screens. Unresponsive during video calls. Eats all of my memory at least once a day. The app is a mess.

Not a single crash on Mac in 5 months I’ve been using it. Perhaps it’s the Linux version? Or your system?

Slack crashes quite often for me-try to do too much? That’s a crash.

Accidentally toggled the “huddle” button a couple of times - it’ll crash so badly, I legitimately have to restart the computer to fix it.

You’ve never seen Slack reload while using it? Often, that’s a “crash” in an Electron app.

I have not seen that. It's crash-free for me, running 24x7.

But all that tells you is that it's crash-free on at least a small % of machines, so not a great way to analyze robustness. Maybe create an HN poll?

> I have not seen that.

No offense, but you must have blinders on then. On a fresh install on a new machine it’ll do it in the first day.

There was a person who legit got struck by lightning multiple times in their life and lived, so anything is possible. Your claim is comparatively improbable though, but still has the possibility of being true.

I get them all the time on my M1 Mac (Like at least once a week.) Sometimes even the white window that requires a force quit and doesn't auto-reload.

I have experienced few crash like scenario with network issues on my Mac. If my wifi is poor for a minute, slack will permanently stop working unless I force reload using menu or restart it. Messaging apps are basically meant to not have permanent connection, but I have seen very few that could work with this assumption.

This didn't work for me the first three times I tried. It said I had to log into the app and deactivate my account (which of course I can't do because I don't have an account). It eventually claims to have worked on the fourth try, but I have no way of checking because it doesn't let you look up numbers without being logged in.

You can login to the website using a throwaway or junk Gmail account, give the website access to your Gmail contacts (which is zero), and then lookup any number.

Thanks ! How did you find it on the site ?
