Slack has IRC gateway, so you can use irssi for company chat.
It might not be a big deal for you, but when we were briefly using Slack at previous company, I loved that I could just add it as another network to irssi.
- Nux 12y agoOne could use Bitlbee to connect irssi (or any other irc client) to a jabber server and not only. http://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.r.html http://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.r.html
- baddox 12y agoUnfortunately, the IRC gateway causes a bad experience, not so much for the people using IRC, but for the people using the real Slack client. Slack apparently doesn't recognize username mentions ("@joe123") coming from IRC, so everyone needs to add their username to their list of highlight words so that the team members using IRC can mention them.
