Well, most of the work is done on the Raspberry Pi.

I think the title is misleading. It's really a Slack client for the Raspberry Pi that you control using a C64.

The silly thing is that the Raspberry Pi that is used to implement this, is actually a far more powerful computer than the C64 to begin with.

Still, it's extremely cool to see Slack being usable from a C64.

C'mon. Implement PPP between the C64 and a Pi, and then do the rest on the C64 itself.

Does the C64 have TCP/IP capabilities?
