1: Slack new update

I use this interface at my college to communicate in my classes and clubs. As an user of this website the choice to organize all of the channels by name rather than by the group they belong to makes it really difficult to search for them. While some have specific names, they all have a general and random channels. In the general channels is where I have found most of our communications happen. While it is not difficult to identify in which channel the message was sent since it is highlighted, writing a message is so tedious. When I try to find what I am looking for, the font and color that indicate which group the channel belongs to is too faint for me to notice on first look. I find myself clicking in the wrong channel many times.

2:The dishwasher at our apartment.

In at least two of our apartments, we have put post it notes to show if the dishes are clean or dirty. We flip it to let others know when it is done. The confusion would be prevented if we had a light to indicate it.
