Anthropic's Thariq Shihipar spotted the unannounced change.
Slack now renders HTML attachments instead of just showing it as text 😭🙏
my one Slack feature request- don't preview HTML as a scary text blob, I find myself wanting to sending coworkers HTML files that Claude generates pretty often, but the click through rate is horrendous
Many users hailed Slack rendering HTML attachments as a game changer for readability and a welcome improvement, while others dismissed the update and pushed for unrelated features like code highlighting or Fable instead.
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.
@trq212 Did you just leak an early access feature

@trq212 Or better yet, use http://quickish.site - free and org scoped
@trq212 we should have that option on here @grok , tell dad
@trq212 The gap between 'AI generated something useful' and 'a coworker actually opens it' is mostly a rendering problem.
@trq212 OMG YES! Doesn't work for me yet though.
I use GitHub HTML Preview links + gist instead....
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://gist.githubusercontent.com/stbenjam/2c0859be2ff1fd5d1a6da9522e91f931/raw/test.html
@trq212 That’s a huge usability boost can finally see formatted messages without copying the raw HTML.
@trq212 This is awesome, great improvement for quick one offs. Still a pain if you actually want to keep all your html files organised though or be able to update them without sharing again. I'll probably stick to using https://pagecrate.app
@SlackHQ @trq212 Well put!
@trq212 Probably used Claude code to make it happen
@trq212 Nice, does it do markdown yet?
@trq212 Hey 👋, can I get a similar request through, don’t know how to route it.
Claude cannot render LookML, I use Claude for work along with Looker. I persistently have to convert what it creates, LookML, into markdown.
Can you all fix this somehow? Like give it an artifact ability?
@theo @SlackHQ @trq212 clearly ai written lol
@trq212 did you get early access or smth?
@trq212 Where ? How? I still cant see it 😭
@trq212 Thank you so much Thariq Ive literally been feeling this all week sending all of my agent created html docs especially to non technical folks who just like think I'm off my rocket when this happens
@trq212 i like to remove most previews before sending.. really only useful sometimes
@trq212 i would love a central claude “repo” where i can push my HTML artifacts, that supports multi-user commenting by highlight and pin, and ability to tag claude per thread
i find the HTML artifacts get lost in chat and are tricky to iterate on w feedback from multiple people
@trq212 i don’t see it yet. How do I access this feature
@trq212 Not working for me. Probably behind a feature flag
@SlackHQ @trq212 is this an openclaw bot
