- notpushkin 8mo agoIt’s a good thing that Slack uses WebSockets! I think they even had the API for custom clients available, it’s only for Slack Apps now: https://docs.slack.dev/apis/events-api/using-socket-mode/ https://docs.slack.dev/apis/events-api/using-socket-mode/ (And of course, way back then there was an official IRC interface, too)
