A WeeChat script that provides a native terminal client for Slack, connecting via the Slack API with a persistent websocket for real-time events. It supports threads, reactions, read marker sync, typing notifications, and other features typically limited to official Slack clients.

Use cases

• use Slack from the terminal in WeeChat
• get Slack threads and reactions in an IRC-style client
• synchronize Slack read markers across clients
• manage multiple Slack teams in one terminal client
• receive typing notifications in Slack from the command line
• replace the Slack web client with a lightweight terminal interface

When to choose

• you already use WeeChat and want Slack in the same client
• you prefer a keyboard-driven, low-resource terminal chat experience
• you need Slack features like threads, reactions, and slash commands outside the official apps
• you want to consolidate multiple Slack teams into one client

When to avoid

• you want a graphical Slack experience with rich media previews
• you don't use WeeChat and don't want to learn it
• you rely on Slack features like huddles, calls, or canvas that a terminal client can't provide
