Browser fails with the same message:

  Something’s gone awry and we’re having trouble loading your workspace.

  Sorry we can’t be more specific – this is one of those cases where we don’t know what’s gone wrong either. A restart of Slack might help, and you can always contact us.

ps. restart of slack in browser? wtf?

"ps. restart of slack in browser? wtf?"

In all seriousness, since I'm sure a lot of people don't know this, use SHIFT-CTRL-r. That instructs the browser to reload everything, ignoring cached resources. This can occasionally "restart" a web page that even a reload or loading the URL in the URL bar again is not sufficient for. Slack is one of those things I've seen it work on.

However, SHIFT-CTRL-r isn't enough now.

Somewhat OT, but I love the phrasing "Something's gone awry", so much more elegant than the usual "Oops, we dun made a bad".

>restart of slack in browser

most people IME use the slack app, in which case "restart" makes sense.

[mirekrusin]

Yes, I know.

The desktop app is Electron, or something similar.

Yeah— it's Electron. They made a big deal about moving away from their native client code bases a few years ago.
