Oh this is smart! Reading where Slack stores the local data in your filesystem instead of using their API/MCP (which they charge for).
Very clever; similar to OpenAI launching Atlas when websites start blocking bot requests--just build your own browser so your bot becomes an actual user.
I built this exact solution months ago, digging up Slack’s local storage but it failed because they had encryption on the db and the keys weren’t my account keys. Curious to see how they did it
