A command line Slack chat client

In plain words

A command-line Slack chat client that runs in the terminal rather than through a graphical interface. Built for developers and power users who prefer working in the command line, it offers a lightweight alternative to Slack's official desktop application. The tool allows users to send and receive messages, manage conversations, and interact with Slack workspaces directly from their terminal.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
