I definitely can’t help but wish a version of Slack that actually gave a passing concern for integration into a system UI exists. The “look we can do custom CSS everywhere and not look like ANY of our target platforms” garbage has the bane of my work day since it became popular.

You might like https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ . I haven't tried it, but it's a QT client for Slack/Discord

The problem is, it doesn’t look anything like the system UI either. Just because it is using a native toolkit doesn’t mean it automatically looks good or integrates well.

I rarely used Windows, but I remember Trillian was one of the first applications I truly hated for exactly this reason.

It was always not uncommon for Windows apps to apply custom skins to their UIs.

As I recall, none of the behavior was standard; it was more than just a skin.

Check out https://shrugs.app, but development appears to have stalled according to the blog.

I can see an update release on their Twitter[1] as of Dec 8th, doesn't look much stalled IMO

Apologies, I was just going by the official blog. Glad they’re still going.

At least Slack has an API where you could potentialy build one yourself. I wish that were true for Teams…

[grishka]

Everything has an API if you're brave enough lol
