> The SaaS platforms we use for work don't work well together.

Try O365. It just works. Seems like every app works well with the other ones.

>>We’re now looking to bring Slack and GitHub into a unified notification inbox in the menu bar. We want to better organize everything you use as we’ve done with Google Calendar.

That's risky. Major OS already have notification centers/aggregators.




O365? Outlook.com is terrible. Crazy a** js that doesn't mark messages as read with no discernible way to reliably trigger that, shows me the email message version from before spell check as I am waiting for it to send, super laggy, arcane hover triggered menus that want to do a million undocumented things, just to get an email address from an email chain, etc. The only two worse online experiences for me are logging in to att.com and trying to shop on homedepot.com. Microsoft should not be in a discussion with those two head-lice.


Your critique is coming from a sincere place, and acts as a harbinger of the troubles that users of Superpowered are also likely to face.

The trouble is that this kind of SNAFU is common when you are dealing with multi-application use cases, so this criticism is going to apply doubly to any new player in the space, including the topic of this discussion.


Correct, but my point was that there is room for said new player if that is the best we have right now. It is truly basically unusable for me on my device. I don't plan on getting a new device, but rather quitting the part time work that requires me to use that mess (along with so many other bad decisions they make, that make my work about 80% more time consuming than it should be).
