Pro-Tip: Slack useful slash commands to organise and reduce noise
"/feed subscribe" - Useful for adding in RSS subs directly into a channel/chat etc.
"/collapse" - collapse anything non-text based. reduces noise in chats where giphy or sharing is utilised on the reg.
"/remind" - When talking action points with people over slack, I use the remind function to add those tasks so that I don't forget. Super useful if like me, you can't find that one regular to do list type app that sticks for you.
Other shortcuts I use a lot are:
for italics
* for bolding text*
for quoting
``` for code blocks
Hope that helps with being more efficient in Slack!

In true awesome fashion, Capiche also uses it!
"_ [text here}_" - for italics
"* [text here] *" - for bold
">"[text here] - for quote
"```" - for code block markdown
Had no idea about /feed subscribe; that's awesome!
/s is pretty great for search without having to go click the search box.
I also like making custom slash commands via Zapier integrations to fetch data from other apps and such.
Though there's one slash command to be careful with: /archive instantly archives a whole channel, which is rather dangerous. Have seen people accidentally do that before and have whole departments at the company panic thinking their division got shut down :D
Whoah! Why didn’t I know about /s ?
And /remind might just save my reputation, as well as making sure my team don’t miss any of the key things I want them to go and think about (and come back to me)
Remind is a lifesaver; I practically used it as my to-do list for a bit.
Three major considerations I have been using to evaluate the plethora of options available: 1. Effortless/non-intrusive: It shouldn't feel like a video call 2. Price: As this app would be complime...

Hey guys, first post here. As part of my work, I have to deal with and respond to a lot of incoming messages from different chats: Linkedin/WhatsApp/Signal/IG. I try to use Unreads/Archive features...
Yup—it's almost a hidden easter egg, but Capiche supports Markdown. Here's a quick guide to all the supported Markdown formatting: The Capiche Markdown Guide.
