There's a new native desktop app for Slack, Skype, WhatsApp, etc:

https://eul.im/slack

It's only 4 MB and can handle tens of thousands of messages in one chat without lag.

I would use it but I am afraid that it might steal my accounts. I would feel safer paying for it and I would gladly do that.

Now, it just feels like the creator can simply steal my accounts without my knowledge. Windows 10 warns me about the app as well, perhaps because it is not from the Store?

I don't really care about size of the application, I just want it to not consume a crazy amount of memory.

You are right to be cautious.

Like the home page says, the binaries are not signed yet, that's why Windows is complaining. Documents are being verified right now, getting a code signing certificate is a slow process unfortunately.

There will be a paid option soon. The app sends nothing to the server, only error reports.

eul uses 5x less RAM on average.
