It’s unfortunate slack is this difficult to integrate with. Jabber or IRC clients could be spun up with zero pain.

- Tepix 7y agoShow us :-) I'm sure writing mIrc was not "zero pain" back in the day. And Jabber needs a XML parser which is more complex than a JSON parser.
- anthk 7y agoJust use Bitlbee and MIRC. Done, Jabber client for Windows 3.1. And Telegram, and whatever Bitlbee and/or Libpurple supports.
- anthk 7y agoThere are tiny XML parsers out there. Also, an IRC client is a joke, it can be compiled and built even on BSD 4.3, released in late 80's. The suckless guys created some IRC clients in few lines, and the sj client is not that difficult. Heck, you could write an IRC client with Bash and even with Netcat/ed.
- arianvanp 7y agoA streaming; normalizing XML parser doesn't sound like a lot of fun to implement in C89 to me :)
