Slacky

Simple Slack app for Chrome I created because I hate having it open in another tab :)

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.
