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. Users can access the source or report issues via its GitHub repository.

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
