Separate Chat app
Andreas Fogelqvist
I find it very enjoying to have to leave the task/list I’m currently working on to read or answer a chat message. One solution could be to have a separate app for just the chat. So you can chat and work more fluently.
On web I have set it up with a web-app in a separate window. So I can have it easy accessible for parallel workflows. But not as easy on mobile…

Thanks for the feedback here. Can you help me understand the specific flows you are taking that this would help with? Are you switching between chats and tasks, chats and docs, etc.

Joey I also use Chat like this. On desktop, I have a separate browser window open just for Chat so I can have parallel workflows and jump between Chats and tasks, without having to leave Chat.
On mobile, it’s annoying because only one workflow is possible:
- Read a Chat message.
- Navigate to the task, doc, etc. referenced in the Chat.
- Make comments, adjustments, edits, etc. to said task, doc, etc.
- Navigate back to Chat.
- Find the message thread you were in previously to continue the conversation.
For some things this is manageable, for other things, this is quite a lengthy process and would be much easier to have a separate Chat app for mobile to switch between Chats and tasks, docs, as quickly as the desktop version (when using Chat in a dedicated browser window)
