Create a better user interface for Microsoft Teams

NSFW because I may be violating the rule "professionalism". I use Microsoft Office for work. I also manage a small nonprofit's Office 365. I don't understand why it's just getting more difficult. Why does Teams break every couple months? And it's always the same fix to delete some cache? Has nobody attempted to fix this bug that thousands of people complain about on support forums? Why does Windows 11 come with a version of Teams that doesn't work? Why is it so difficult to get it to just piss off? Why does office.com just show bing chat now? Why is the Apps page under a submenu? Nobody gives a shit. Everyone uses Office for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. These are your products. They have been societal staples for decades. Now you shove them behind a fucking ChatGPT wrapper? "Welcome, how can I help?" you can fuck off and show me the apps I pay for. Microsoft couldn't get people to use their overpriced cash-burning incompetent "replace your employees" LLM, so they decided to just make it the default app so they can tell shareholders people totally use it. "See? We didn't waste billions of dollars. Our _insane_ debt for a product we couldn't sell for three years is finally going our way, everyone is using it now!" Why does the web version of Teams take two minutes to load? "We're setting things up for you...". Open dev tools network tab while this loads. At some point it just stops doing anything - yet it continues loading "Just another minute..." It downloads 50MB resources just to show a list of channels. HOW? Is it fucking emulating the desktop app in wasm or something? Why is it so difficult to just find a FUCKING INSTALLER for MICROSOFT TEAMS. I don't want the Microsoft Store version, that one just shits the bed and doesn't let you click on work/school account as an option half the time. I haven't met a soul who uses Teams for personal use. It's an app for organizations. Schools. Tertiary education. Businesses. NOBODY uses Teams to call their gran. The solution to find the installer, is to wait 5 minutes for the setTimeout to finish "loading" Microsoft Teams web version, click the ellipsis icon at the top-right and click "Get the desktop app [NEW]". Ah yes, very intuitive for average users. I'm also so glad we're considering software from 2020 "NEW". Outlook search on desktop is trash. It straight up cannot find anything. Search from:email@example.com and it finds emails _not_ from email@example.com. WHY? The web version's search works. Outlook thinks that "preemptive" isn't a word. It suggests "preemptive" as a correction. Outlook thinks "the" is spelled incorrectly. I hover over it, and it suddenly thinks it's fine. Microsoft Word can't un-bold a bold word. It still takes a PHD to set up page numbering correctly. I'd rather off myself than try fix numbered headings. It's easier and faster to just write fucking HTML than use this shit software. If I installed Windows 10 and Office 2016, I'd have a faster, better bug-free experience. It wasn't perfect back then, but fuck do I miss just saving shit to my own laptop by default. I miss when Microsoft Office didn't update every fucking day to bring new enhancements like "now you need to click an additional time just to add a fucking file attachment in Teams". Want to style that code block as SQL? Remember when you used to just type ```sql? That was nice. Why would you want that still? That's not intuitive, what about the poor non-developers who want to paste a fucking ___CODE___ block? Remember this device. Does. Nothing. I am convinced it is there as an April Fools joke they forgot to remove for a decade. Access a shared SharePoint folder. It asks for MFA for your main Microsoft account. Then it asks for MFA for the org you're a guest for. Seriously? What the fuck is the point of SSO? Then try rename a folder. YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION. Refresh the page. The folder's name changed. WOW! Turns out I _did_ have permission. Download a file PLEASE SIGN IN AGAIN. Hit refresh a few times, that modal pisses off and it lets me download the file. Security. We renamed Active Directory to Entra ID. Why? Fuck you, that's why! Zero improvement, still the same shitty buggy UI. Now you have the privilege of typing _two_ search terms to find the relevant documentation. Want to check your users' sign in logs? We moved that to a whole new portal which takes another minute to load. Also we renamed it a bunch of times. We're doing live UI updates in prod now. Are you looking for Entra admin center? Well look no further, it's called "Identity" in the menu you have to expand to find. Clearly the 30,000 employees Microsoft laid off included a LOT of QA and UX staff. Microsoft took away free nonprofit licenses. It was 10 licenses. 10. What the fuck. The impact of that must have been an infinitesimally small drop in an ocean of revenue. Money that could go to help the world is funnelling into some finance bros' patagonias. Their marketing team must be _livid_. Enshittification. Incompetence. Greed. Microsoft.
