Slacky
Simple Slack app for Chrome I created because I hate having it open in another tab :)
What is Slacky?
Slacky is a third-party Google Chrome extension designed to simplify the user interface with Slack. It was created as a personal project to address the inconvenience of constantly switching to a separate tab for Slack operations. Note: It is not affiliated with the official Slack company.

Summary
This is in NO WAY affiliated with Slack, just an app I wanted for personal use and figured I'd put it in the store in case others felt the same. Get the official Slack extension at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/slack/jeogkiiogjbmhklcnbgkdcjoioegiknm

Me salvou do vampiro (Slack desktop) minha memória RAM está salva agora <3
Nice little wrapper on web slack. So far so good. The native Electron app is really not resource friendly, especially on battery usage. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome on linux - the Slack application wasn't working and is a behemoth in resource usage. Slacky is sleeker, better looking, and best of all It Just Works.
