If so, it may be time to re-brand because the niche is what most people now assume.

You shouldn’t need an extension just to add a keyboard shortcut for a menu item. Doesn’t your OS let you map that? On macOS you can in Keyboard Settings

Indeed, one point for MacOS! I use GNOME.

Interesting. Do you have more technical details on how to build these same tools for myself?

All the big LLM APIs work via similar HTTP Requests - you can do them with curl, python, Tasker, Apple Shortcuts, anything that can do a HTTP POST.

Start from a playground/workbench page like https://console.groq.com/playground (you may need to sign up with a credit card, I forget, but it's pennies per month). Under system, tell it how to act - put "You talk in a cockney accent". Under user just say "hi". Press submit to see how it responds.

Click the "View code" button below to see all the HTTP requests parameters in different flavors. curl is probably easiest since you just paste it into terminal on mac. Just set the API key variable first. You get a key from the API keys page.

Once you start getting responses that make sense in terminal try it in https://reqbin.com/post-online . Figure out where the parameters go. Then try it again in Apple Shortcuts - it will look like this https://imgur.com/a/xqqhJh6.png . On mac some tools that can trigger apple shortcuts via hotkey are BetterTouchTool or from the "spotlight bar" Alfred Workflows works well, but there's probably all sorts of ways. On Android I use Tasker which is similar to Apple Shortcuts. For voice recognition I use Taskers in-built Google voice recognition. On the mac I am using OpenAI Whisper via HTTP POST. It's all duct tape and bubblegum behind the scenes - just start small.

> It’s no different than other companies though, I sent a remote code execution to Cisco and they just replied that they already knew about it but the product was approaching end of life so they wouldn’t fix it.

Huh? That sounds very different from Apple. In that instance, the communication is professional, mature, and respectful of your time and effort.

You mean something like mattermost.com ?

I meant more of a direct replacement of the Slack IRC gateway rather than a replacement of Slack itself.

I've heard that using Slack with biboumi as a gateway is better than their gateway ever was, but can't say myself. I'd be curious to get your experience if you try it.

Does that help if they're also turning off the XMPP gateway?

I thought biboumi also supported Slack natively, but I might have been mixing it up with one of the others. Spectrum maybe? "I've always heard that using a third party gateway which uses the Slack API to communicate with slack is a better experience" is probably what I should have said.

No. What SamWhited probably meant is “It’s better to use XMPP-client -> biboumi -> slack’s irc gateway -> slack than XMPP-client -> slack’s XMPP gateway -> slack”. Because otherwise, the comment makes no sense, since biboumi is not a native Slack gateway.

So, since both XMPP and IRC gateway will disappear, it does not help.

This could be an alternative solution: https://github.com/ekmartin/slack-irc

Looks promising. But the sign-up fails.

Slightly surprising to me ... does it still fail for you (I just tried and it worked, but maybe I'm missing something - used Chrome over here)

And you're so sure that there isn't a single NSA agent working at Google who could subvert your systems? Let's be realistic

It would be a fairly poorly designed system if any individual could subvert it without getting caught. It's not all that important who's paying them ;)

I can't talk about internal systems at all, of course.

Great list. Would love to see that expanded into a blog post :)
