slack-term

Hmmm... I don't use Discord a lot, but (depending on how resource intensive this app is) I wish someone would combine this with https://github.com/jpbruinsslot/slack-term into a lightweight Slack client. Not sure about how Slack's policy regarding unofficial clients is though...

You can still find terminal interfaces for a lot of these things, including Slack: https://github.com/jpbruinsslot/slack-term. I don't use Emacs but I imagine you could integrate that somehow if you wanted to.

Anyone wondering how "easy" it is to obtain a token may be interested in the setup instructions for slack-term[0]. As for token expiration.. I've been logged into slack-term using the same token for weeks if not months, without needing to reauthenticate. I assume it refreshes.

Also free plug for slack-term, I guess. :) TL;DR: socially engineer an EA employee with a link like https://slack.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=32165416946541.1... and if they are half asleep they just might auth you. STL;SDR: EA probably permit employees to authenticate with non-official apps/clients, which they probably won't be permitting anymore.

On a related note, there is also a nice Slack terminal client (written in GO) - https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term

> 4. A few good, Open Source native ports already exist, and people are just unaware of them. Native GUI clients: - Ripcord: https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ - Wey: https://github.com/yue/wey ("written in Node.js with native UI powered by the Yue library") - Volt: https://volt-app.com IRC bridges (allow using Slack from native IRC clients): - wee-slack: https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack - irc-slack: https://github.com/insomniacslk/irc-slack - bitlbee: http://bitlbee.org (using libpurple) libpurple plugin (allows using Slack from Pidgin, Adium, bitlbee): - https://github.com/dylex/slack-libpurple - Adium (native macOS app) plugin based on it: https://github.com/victori/slack4adium CLI clients: - https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term - https://github.com/haskellcamargo/sclack - the emacs one you mentioned Most of these clients don't su

> Sblack works exactly like a browser with small tweaks. Looks like it just wraps the website in this case. Yes there are clients that use the API. Slack offers a http rest-like api as well as a websockets realtime api. For example, wee-slack[1] (weechat plugin for slack) and slack-term[2] (curses client in golang).

Do you refer to this one? https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term Do you have a link about them killing the terminal client? Thanks

Wonder how this compares to [slack-term](https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term/)...

Thx I was using [0] slack-term up until now when I was using slack from the terminal. Could make a nice addition to my weechat setup. [0] https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term

Does anyone actually prefer coding to the IRC and XMPP protocols instead of the Slack API ? https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term seems more than sufficient to me, and hackable if I find an itch to scratch... Better yet, would anyone here pay for development of a self-hosted IRC or XMPP gateway to Slack? :P

What does the current emoji support look like? (https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term/blob/b871a9ad0c8... seems to suggest they aren't rendered?) In my experience custom emojis is the most important driver of Slack use ;).
