That is why I do not use Slack for Desktop, and just keep a pinned tab of Slack open almost all the time. I also tend to reduce my usage of any Electron-based app because I want to better make use of my laptop resources in my development workflow requirements.

It made real progress in the last few months. and there are some nice bindings to it.
