TermoSlack – A Terminal Based Slack Client

Hey HN, I built TermoSlack, a fully terminal-based Slack client written in Node.js, with real-time updates using Socket Mode and OAuth user login. Why I built it - good question! ================================ Can be several answers: 1) uses way less ram than original slack client 2) doesn't require electron 3) very fast ngl and more more... What features are in there ??? ================================ --Real-time Slack messages via Socket Mode (xapp + xoxb) --User login with OAuth (no shared bot identity) --Multiple workspaces --Channel list, message view, message sending --Terminal UI built with neo-blessed --Works fully offline besides Slack API calls --Packaged as a single Windows/Linux executable What I used to build this project ?? ==================================== --Node.js (ESM) --@slack/web-api & @slack/socket-mode --neo-blessed TUI --express (local OAuth callback server) --pkg (for producing a standalone executable) Earlier I was thinking python to implement this but I switched over to node.js as it would make this project more challenging Work in progress: ================= --DMs + private channels --Threaded conversations --Message reactions --File uploads --User presence indicators --Keybindings --Multi-workspace switching --Custom Themes Your feedback will be precious to me and for my project. I would love to hear your feedback for improving this project more and more ! Thanks HN github link : github.com/adhyys07/TermoSlack
