I use Ripcord to access Slack daily and it’s… very mediocre. It uses Qt, so it looks terrible (but at least it’s not a web browser). It’s more native than an electron app, but not by a lot. It doesn’t even use native scroll bars which can be really irritating at times. All images are thumbnail size and if you click to enlarge, it dumps you to the web, which slack.com just ignores. It logs you in and then doesn’t take you to the image or file you clicked on.

I don’t hate it (as much as I hate using Slack in a web browser or electron app), but I certainly don’t love it. I’ll be giving Shrugs a try, but it sounds like it’s missing a lot, too, so I’m not hopeful.
