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

Besides building accessibility into frontend/React component toolkits, how do we automate testing for accessibility? I've turned on text dictation and tested apps with a blindfold, but that doesn't scale and I'm not even sure if it's how people really use an app without sight.
After years of trying, I've still not found a reliable way to automate accessibility testing. The only really workable way to manage it currently is: bake it into your entire dev process. When designing an application, forget the visuals: design the flow of information, and the interactions. This is a surprisingly good facsimile for mobile-first thinking, as it follows similar principles: in both cases, you have a re…
The hard things like focus control require manual testing, ideally by a skilled user of AT.

Discord's inability to separate identities is the deal breaker. I don't want to be logged into work and play at the same time. I'd also like to be able to engage in some communities pseudonymously and others not. None of the chat apps ticks all boxes, which is why we need a universal client that puts the user back in control like in the Trillian/Adium days. And no, matrix+bridges is not that solution.
What's the problem with matrix plus bridges? I am uniformed, so don't take this question to imply there are no problems

They're not basically electron apps. they _are_ electron apps. And it's completely absurd that mine is currently using 1514MB of memory. If I weren't required to use Slack on a day-to-day basis, I absolutely wouldn't solely on principle.
Weird, my slack app on windows is currently using 54MB.

The desktop app allows them to Mark the checkbox of having a "native" app when selling ... And in my environment quite a few folks prefer the election app over the browser. I don't know why, though.
I prefer a dedicate app because I can alt-tab through a relatively limited number of apps compared to the dozens of tabs I may have open. For example, the desktop app will show notification count in the dock. Imagine if all of your apps had a browser version and you could always pick between a tabbed version vs standalone version. To use the tabbed version of everything would be like using an AOL app back in those da…

Has anybody here switched to mattermost? How has your experience been so far? Any "gotchas" or unanticipated pain-points to be aware of?
I don't run the services personally but I know the guys who do, and from what I can tell it mostly Just Works. We use our org's SSO for gitlab, and we use use gitlab auth for mattermost, and all the pieces work together well.
I don't use IRC with mattermost, but there are bridges available.
