This sounds like a fun thing you could do directly in Slack with a chrome extension. Kills a lot of the server based features - search, pulling in webpages, lots of integrations, but it seems like those would break in your end-to-end world no matter what.

- pyre 11y ago> Why wouldn't client-side search work if you wrote the entire app It depends on how "deep" you want to search. Also, to get Slack's functionality, you need to be able to search through history that your client might not have "seen" yet because you were not in the channel when it happened.
