> Top to bottom, it's a very nice UX. It's why i love Slack.

I wouldn't even credit them with that. 20 minutes ago I yet again pressed up-arrow to scroll up one line to see a message off the top of the page and yet again it dropped me into an editing prompt for my last message. What?

And then there's the click-click-click of jumping between channels to see the latest messages, instead of having some form of summary.

In my experience people tolerate the UI of Slack, they don't praise it.

I've long thought that an aggregated screen holding all unread message (with a button to expand +/- 5 lines) was sorely missing from Slack.
This is a newish feature that's at least close to what you want https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/226410907-View-all-...
