I wrote an electron app to inject javascript and CSS into slack in an attempt to turn off a lot of distraction and, more importantly, easily differentiate between bots and people. I feel the author's pain, but the great part about being a programmer is that if it's bad enough to write about, it's bad enough to fix. It allows per-team customizations, and if anyone cares to mess with it, there's a link at https://github.com/bhuga/hackable-slack-client https://github.com/bhuga/hackable-slack-client. OSX only, but it's electron, so porting it would probably be easy. Changing other people's applications' behavior is challenging but rewarding. The hacks required make great stories for certain kinds of parties. I always point people to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11805380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11805380 for a better introduction than I could give.
