It's against Slacks ToS to recreate the main app offering so I'll be curious to see how long they can offer Slack support. I'm pretty sure they even killed the slack terminal client someone created awhile back.

Do you refer to this one? https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term

Do you have a link about them killing the terminal client?

Thanks

Please provide a reference. The ToS suggest that your are not allowed to produce a competing _service_ (i.e. a server replicating the API). The Slack API even provides special client tokens to application vendors, so you would assume this is considered OK?

I'm pretty sure they didn't (why would they?). Just a claim anyways ;-)
