## What it is
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
