Switching between DM and Channel stalls play #43

Closed tvb closed 8 years ago

I think switching between the DM of your cards and back to the channel to play really stalls the game.

You should be getting a pop-up notification for each DM. If not, try tweaking your notification settings?

The pop-up notification is definitely better than having to switch between a DM and the channel. However, I was thinking of a slightly different UX. The slackbot can 'whisper' (prob. not the right terminology) something to you - and only you - in the channel you're in. Is this available via the API? If so, that could be pretty awesome.

CharlieHess commented 8 years ago

Not available in the API yet. :disappointed: Good suggestion though.

That could also have been a good idea in case you play a game in multiple channels

Closing until there's another option for communicating hole cards.
