Commodore 64 aside, I'd love to have a native (non-Electron) client for Windows at least.
- chubs 8y agoI'm working on one for the mac, which isn't quite windows of course, if anyone cares? Looks like this so far: https://i.imgur.com/ATNdP6p.png https://i.imgur.com/ATNdP6p.png
- agentdax5 8y agoI certainly care. Is this open source, how can I help?
- chubs 8y agoGlad to hear it! I'm undecided re open source, two reasons: I wouldn't mind trying to sell it and take a chance at the 'indie developer' dream, and also managing a community project i think is beyond me.
- andai 8y agoI would like to compliment you on the lovely aesthetic.
- chubs 8y agoThanks! You're too kind :)
- swozey 8y agoIf you make this allow for an all black theme (INCLUDING the main chat window) I'll happily use it. I use a black theme (there's a few forks of https://github.com/widget-/slack-black-theme https://github.com/widget-/slack-black-theme) but Slack breaks them beyond just dumping the code back into the css files constantly.
- chubs 8y agoSure that wouldn't be very difficult. I think i'd be obliged to have a dark theme for the new macOS' dark mode anyway.
- sanlyx 8y agoIs anyone working on this? I don't even use Slack but could be interesting to reverse engineer the protocol and all and implement at least an API library or something for Windows
- the-dude 8y agoI would rather have that for my Acorn Electron.
- htor 8y agocan i ask why you would like a native one? is it too slow or something?
- zerr 8y agoYes, it is slow, memory hog and visually ugly (for me). I'd rather prefer a slick pure win32 app, including the visuals - real win32 buttons, lists, text edit controls, etc...
