This Week in Slashwork
A quieter-looking week from the outside, but a busy one underneath. A lot of the work this week was about polishing things we shipped recently — scheduled posts, the long-press menu, reactions — and unlocking some long-standing language and accessibility wishes.

🗓️ Scheduled posts and messages, everywhere
We've finished rolling scheduled posts through the rest of the product. You can now schedule a post or a chat message in a Channel or a Chat, edit the schedule before it goes out, reschedule it, or just hit "Send now" and skip the wait. Future-scheduled posts are also filtered out of the feed for everyone except the author until they actually go live, which sounds obvious in hindsight but took a surprising amount of care to get right.
🌍 Multiple spoken languages, and post translation
Slashwork now knows that lots of people work across more than one language. You can declare your spoken languages in settings on mobile, and we'll use that everywhere translation matters. Posts in a language you don't speak are automatically translated, and when we email you about a post we'll translate it too if you've opted in. We also leave your own posts alone (translating them back to you was charming the first time and grating the second).
📱 Native UI improvements
A lot of mobile polish landed this week. The long-press menu finally lost its lingering ghosts — the overlay no longer refuses to come back, message position measurement doesn't jump when the keyboard hides, tall messages render their menus correctly, and the back button is handled properly. The reactions modal is much less janky as a result. We also polished custom emoji support on mobile!
📊 Admin statistics
Admins get a new "Statistics" tab in the admin panel with basic user statistics, including a sortable table so you can slice it however you like. It's deliberately a small first cut — more to come.
✨ Honorable mentions
- Pasted links are now smarter about inferring protocol prefixes — fewer "wait, that didn't autolink?" moments.
- The Meet button no longer shows up on your own profile, because you probably don't need to schedule a meeting with yourself.
- Mobile web now shows your unread count in the top-left nav toggle, so you can see at a glance whether there's anything new.
