I still dont understand why Slack is popular when there is a free open source solution matrix/riot/element that works just as well.

I use both Slack and Riot (in browser). Slack is slow, but it manages threading and notifications much better than Riot.

I want urgency hint set upon receiving new messages, and yes, desktop notifications. I am not sure what browsers do differently, but I use `dunst` notification daemon, and `notify-send` (and other programs) works well with it. I wish Riot (or Element) supported both. Of course only with with proper customizability.
