Just publish an open and fully documented API so folks can build their own clients (or use those written by folks they share UX opinions with) and these constant redesigns that will inevitably break folks' muscle memories and piss people off won't be necessary, come on, Slack!
Anyway, can't wait to have to re-learn a bunch of stuff for Glossy IRC yet again...
You mean like the one at https://api.slack.com/apis? You can build your own client today if you want.
Sadly third party apps need to be approved by a slack workspace administrator. I wanted to use wee-slack[0], but neither my work nor any of the community slacks I’m a member of, e.g. kubernetes, had any third party clients enabled at all.
I figured the likelihood of an admin enabling it at my request was zero so I didn’t bother asking.
