Is it possible/legal to create third party chat clients for services like Slack?

For me, the biggest barrier for adopting an alternative to Slack (or Facebook Messenger) is that no one else will switch with me.

It would be great if Slack could simply become an API for a chat client I prefer.

This is cool! Looking forward to Linux and Windows support seeing as that's where I spend pretty much all my time

Uh, yeah. I don’t think that has ever stopped anyone. We have had companies literally spraying the personal info of all their customers all over the internet, and as far as I know they’re still running.
