Not even close. Slack regularly screws up text, harfs on things, and does generally not-IRC things. Overall Slack's interface is terrible and does not seem to have been tested by anyone who has regularly used chat interfaces in the past.
Slack is a program created 13 years into the 21st century that does not understand either hyperlinks or WYSIWYG. It's boggling.
I could really use this seeing as... https://twitter.com/NickPoorman/status/737647940026634240
Yep I put a ticket in for something simialr(grows to about 2GB every 2 days or so), and was told it's expected behaviour!!

One issue we had with Mattermost is that some authentication modules (e.g. OAuth) are not part of the free core. Rocket Chat does not have this issue, though the mobile app is a bit less polished.
Hi, we agree, and that's why we are about to launch brand new native apps for iOS and Android. Let me know if you'd like to join the beta testers.
Because this company here tries very hard to find ways to rely on every Microsoft product in existence and deprecated the (then 3 weeks old) Slack server as soon as Microsoft Teams was announced.

Everyone says scrolling back through history is a feature, but it grinds to a halt before you can scroll back very far anyway.
However I'm not convinced it's just historic messages that's eating up the memeory. IRC clients aren't this bad even with thumbnail support like Slack. Whuchever way you look at Slack, it's needlessly wasteful.

my question was serious, i don't see why i should get down vote for this. i'm actually curious to understand what's the reason to build this. it may be fun, but once it's built you trow it away. it's like baking a cake and don't eat it.
If you are a programmer and you are serious in asking this question I'd suggest reevaluating your career. I've hired many developers over the years and seeing a project like this would make me hire you in an instant!

as the author of this project, let me explain... Ahem.... Well there is no good reason. I guess I was curious to see if something that I use every day, like Slack, could be interacted with through the C64. Figuring out a wire format for a list of channels, then parsing that out into channel names + ids and rendering a scrolling list of channels in 6502 assembly is challenging. Its frustrating. It was fun! More genera…
Come on guys... C64 all of the things! Some of the comments here are ridiculously negative or taking away from the fact that Jeff has done something cool here. Good stuff, Jeff! Keep on doing stuff like this and don't listen to the hate/negative comments.
Thanks! It's just a fun project, so of course there are lots of ways to improve it! I found writing 6502 assembly code is strangely comfortable once you get over the initial face-palm moments ;)

The web doesn't handle WYSIWYG formatting.
Slack is a glorified instant message service, and instant message clients have been handling WYSIWYG for a couple of decades now.

Of course it does, if a programmer bothers to take the time to add it. Slack is a glorified instant message service, and instant message clients have been handling WYSIWYG for a couple of decades now.
