[9fans] Slack via Acme?

[dexen deVries]

was there any attempt at using Slack through Acme?

the default desktop GUI, a browser AFAICT, is taking 1+ GB of RAM
after a few hours

I'm using https://bitbucket.org/ftrvxmtrx/xmpp at work (though without
acme), with xmpp gate provided by slack itself. Some might prefer irc gate
for which more clients exist, I guess.

i've seen several Slack API packages and clients in Go.  github.com/9fans
includes Go packages for communicating with acme. if you can roll your own,
it might not be much code to integrate the pieces.

If the irc bridge is enabled (admins for your slack setup have to do
that, it's not set up by default), ircs (http://plan9.fi/src/ircs.tgz)
works fine for me for connecting to it, though I don't use it in acme.

The only major caveats are that it doesn't do message replay (set up
your own znc or check a different client on startup) and you have to
grep MOTD to see any unnamed channels (group privmsgs) you might've
been added to. For the most part they did a surprisingly decent job
of making the irc bridge stand on its own.

Enjoy all the annoying :emoji:.
