While I completely understand your decision to pull it; both their decision to flex their legal arm and your decision to not stand your ground are equally disappointing.
I guess... I'm sorry? and I'll try to do better next time, I promise.

I’m not being a good platform partner basically because they make it impossible for me to be one. I’d love to avoid reverse engineering their minified code and use well documented APIs. Unfortunately, that’s not possible nor planned (as they told me on a tweet I linked on the post).
I really feel both sides of this. On the one hand, I like customizing things, and I love to see users getting involved in platforms they love. On the other, I see how responsibly providing APIs is a big long-term burden that can prevent internal innovation. I was talking a while back with some Mozilla people about the move from their legacy API [1] to WebExtensions [2]. It was a giant pain, but their old API exposed…

Is there a link to bonfire somewhere? You're not talking about Facebook's video call app are you?
it’s this: https://chat.stackoverflow.com but unfortunately, it’s not open source or available for other teams to use in private.
- Why does it have list of users with their avatars and everytime new person comes in it has a huge, slow animation lol
- ads for other rooms and quarter of the screen is "best comments top list"
- the chat user avatars are unaligned, some are bigger, some smaller, some have usernames under avatare, some on the right.

He he, too funny you mention zooming. I've had a bug report going for a while where their emoji sprite sheet gets all messed up if you run at smaller zoom levels. I think they still haven't fixed it properly. :)
Because people who zoom do not deserve to be on the internets.

Hey g3rv4 sorry to hear the news. Although I personally don't use slack, when I saw your last post (congrats on the double front page btw) I was super impressed by the stuff you'd added, sorry to see it go. So this seems rather unfortunate now but the first thought I had on reading your initial post was "wow, I wish he'd come and do some similar stuff for riot[1], but unless slack shut him down there's no chance." Ho…
woooooowwwwwww so... I could use riot to connect to my company’s slack? that’s a dream come true!!! I’ll def check it out

There isn't even a threat to sue yet. I'd at least wait until they escalate and post everything publicly as we go.

Maybe it's foolish, maybe it's not, but this email cost Slack the salary of the person for the time it took him/her to write it. At least make them also pay for an hour or two of legal fees to have this taken down.
