#3I just want something between this and Slack's mac app, which sometimes doesn't want to load on even Starbucks wifi. Ideally a GUI app that can load messages on airplane wifi would be amazing. Every time I try to open slack on an airplane it just sits there loading and loading and loading.
Maybe one day!

IMO that's a poor excuse, and leaves open a lot of room for competition. There's a lot of hubris in assuming their position as a market leader is unassailable.

#9I use this personally. Its great. Hides all the cruft that people post in slack as text.
I've been working on trying to extend it on the side.
