Uma,
I would love to check out your project. Is it on github?
Best,
Juan

Hey guys,
I'm not sure what system you guys use, but I'm working out a mac os version of
a more accessible slack client, which is a sub section of an efficiently
accessible trello desktop version I did, again for mac os.
Those web interfaces are actually starting to become cluttery and not
efficient, especially when managing projects.
if anyone is interested in trying the trello one out, happy to share the repo.

Hi Juan,
Sorry that I can’t be of much help with your question, but I would love to help
with testing what you come up with. It would be great to have a more accessible
desktop option for Slack as we have fully adopted it at my workplace.

Hi All,
I’m developing an alternative slack client that is far more accessible than the
slack client that is released directly by slack.
One issue I’m having and this just because I haven’t done much in the past with
Flask, is the instructions say to create a web server using flask for slack.
Here is the instructions at:
<https://slackapi.github.io/python-slackclient/auth.html>
https://slackapi.github.io/python-slackclient/auth.html
Now, here is my webserver.py file :
# controler / webserver.py
import os
from flask import Flask, request
from slackclient import SlackClient
import controler.config as cfg
app_oauth_scopes = [
"client",
"channels:read",
"channels:write",
"channels:history",
"chat:read:user",
"chat:write:user",
"dnd:read",
"dnd:write",
"dnd:write:user",
"emoji:read",
"groups:history",
"groups:read",
"groups:write",
"identity.basic",
"identity.basic:user",
" <im:history> im:history",
" <im:read> im:read",
" <im:write> im:write",
"team:read",
]
client_id = cfg.slack_client_id
client_secret = cfg.slack_client_secret
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/begin_auth", methods=["GET"])
def preinstall():
return '''
<a href=" <https://slack.com/oauth/authorize?scope=%7b0%7d&client_id=>
https://slack.com/oauth/authorize?scope={0}&client_id={1}";>Sign In to Slack</a>
'''.format(app_oauth_scopes, client_id)
# end function begin_oauth
@app.route("/finish_auth", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def postinstall():
# Retrieve the auth code from the request params
auth_code = request.args['code']
# An empty string is a valid token for this request
sc = SlackClient("")
# Request the auth tokens from Slack
auth_response = sc.api_call(
"oauth.access",
client_id=client_id,
client_secret=client_secret,
code=auth_code
)
return auth_response
can someone please explain how this is to be used? In the past I’ve seen that
applications launch a web browser, with a sign into slack button, and then it
takes mme to slack. How can I duplicate this process? How is this webserver
used? This is frustrating as my slack client is starting to come together.
I’m testing with a ttest token, and now I want to release it to a test group so
they can try it out.
Thanks for any help.
