I'm not used to Slack but I decided to finally join this one to look for help with a problem that has been frustrating me for a couple of hours now. What's the best place to ask ring-related questions?

Hi @johnnyjayjay02 There's a #ring channel that's probably a good place to start. Many popular Clojure libraries have their own channel here, although there are also some more generic ones like #sql and #testing

Johnny 2020-07-07T20:40:39.243200Z

Okay, I don't see any of those channels. Is there an overview somewhere that has links to join them like the ones you just sent?

seancorfield 2020-07-07T20:42:20.244Z

In the left margin, there should be Channels with a big and if you click on that, you get the option to Browse channels.

You can also just click on channel names when someone posts them in a message: #ring <- this should be clickable.

Ah. Awesome, thank you.

seancorfield 2020-07-07T20:43:43.245900Z

(I don't know why Slack changed the UI from just clicking on the word Channels -- implies "adding" something, not "more options")

Johnny 2020-07-07T20:45:00.246700Z

Yeah, that's exactly what it means in Discord ("Create a new channel"), thus my confusion.

can you change the slack chat font to monospaced?

seancorfield 2020-07-07T21:52:55.247900Z

Can't see any font options, anywhere in the preferences.

nahuel 2020-07-07T21:53:01.248100Z

me neither

nahuel 2020-07-07T21:53:10.248400Z

bad for an old IRC junkie 🙂

seancorfield 2020-07-07T21:55:37.248900Z

You can modify the .p-rich_text_section style in the inspector... 🙂

nahuel 2020-07-07T21:57:36.249400Z

can you make that change persistent?

seancorfield 2020-07-07T22:06:07.249800Z

Dunno. I'm sure there are browser extensions for that sort of thing.

seancorfield 2020-07-07T22:06:22.250100Z

(I need to change it back -- it's driving me crazy now!)

seancorfield 2020-07-07T22:06:45.250400Z

(reloading the browser clears it)
