![]() I’m already mirroring notifications from a bunch of services (such as RSS and GitHub) into Slack channels, and adding Quip document status to the mix could be useful.Īlso new today: Slack is rolling out a new ‘Sign In with Slack’ feature to quickly start using a service/app with your Slack identity and automatically get people from your Slack team on it. I haven’t been able to test these features prior to today’s launch, but I’m interested. Any messages, and edits to your Quip docs will in- stantly post to Slack so you can easily follow along and jump in on the action. You won’t lose track of those groundbreaking, killer, disruptive ideas even if they’re happening in both the Slack channel and a Quip docu- ment at the same time. Use the Slack slash-command to create a new Quip doc where things can really take off. Spark ideas in Slack conversations and give them structure in Quip docs where you can organize, discuss, and evolve your team’s most important work. ![]() Starting today, you’ll be able to create Quip documents in Slack and mirror notifications from Quip to Slack conversations. It’s unsurprising, then, that I’m excited about Quip’s integration with another service I use on a daily basis – Slack. ![]() Despite some minor issues (the Apple Pencil can’t scroll or select text in the app there’s no search in spreadsheets on iOS), I work better with Quip on iOS because they respect the platform and they take advantage of the latest iOS tech. Quip is a powerful alternative to Google Docs and Sheets with proper support for iOS 9 and multitasking on the iPad Pro. Since Google ended up offering one of the worst productivity suites on the iPad, we’ve moved several of our Relay FM show documents and MacStories research material to Quip. Still, I’m happy that I can share all modern emojis on Slack I’ll have to rethink some of my typical emoji reactions now. I wonder if Apple’s apparent push toward locking their emoji designs to the iOS ecosystem may have played a role in Slack’s decision to implement an open-source emoji set instead (see also: WhatsApp). #Slack desktop app says focus assist on even when it is off skin#The good news, at least, is that Slack is rolling out support for new emojis, including gender splits and skin tones, that it previously didn’t. Also, users like my friend Erika might prefer one set of emoji designs to another, but they no longer have a choice in the matter. The result is emoji fragmentation, where different users of Slack will see different versions of the same general concept. Jason Snell argues that this move will lead to a different emoji experience for Slack users who access the service from non-Apple platforms: Given this, it’s possible that Slack believes it is on firmer ground to be using Noto Color Emoji rather than embedding Apple emoji images on competing platforms. #Slack desktop app says focus assist on even when it is off license#While Apple’s emoji font is entirely owned and copyrighted by Apple, Google’s emoji font (named Noto Color Emoji) is provided with an open source license which allows other projects to use this within the terms set out in the SIL Open Font License. Google’s emoji designs are being used for all non-Apple platforms now as shown by this alert: Those using on Windows, Android, or any non-Apple platform will see a consistent set between: but it’s not what you might expect. Users of iOS or macOS will see the least change to design in this release, as Slack previously defaulted to using Apple designs on all platforms.Īpple’s emoji designs remain the set displayed when accessing Slack on any Apple platform. If you use Slack on a regular basis, you know that the company has been notoriously slow over the past couple of years in adopting the latest emojis despite having launched features based entirely on them.Īs noted by Jeremy Burge at Emojipedia, however, better emojis on Slack have brought a deeper change for Slack users on non-Apple platforms: In other emoji-related news, Slack today announced that they’re going to support new emojis (including those from Emoji 5.0 released in 2017) across multiple platforms.
