Ask IH: How can I embed Slack in a webpage like nomadlist.com/chat/

You can't. But you can make it look like you can which is what I do :D

What you need to make this:

• get the messages from Slack sent to your server
• save each message in a database, I use SQLite
• make a page in HTML, CSS that looks like Slack
• make JS code that polls/AJAX's the server to get the messages
• the server script, I use PHP, then opens the db to get the latest messages and sends them back in JSON
• the JS code then prints the messages in HTML

There's a lot of finnicky things you need to recreate though:

• @username's should be colored/styled
• as do https:// links
• and @channel names

I don't know of any drop-in solution and I haven't sold it because it seems there isn't much of a market for this >$1,000/mo, but it's somewhat do-able to build yourself. You can copy my styling etc. ofc, just Inspect Element.

It's a nice way if you have a member site, like I do, to show what members can expect to see/use in Slack when they sign up.

Take a look at this thread: https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/690077809931325440

I was looking for this too! Thanks @ami!

I took a quick look at the code, seems to be a custom coded solution that polls his own back-end.

Sounds like something Slack should build and offer as a feature, I'd use it immediately.

ohhhhhh..I want to know how to do this too!

Chatlio seems to do this. I have not used it myself.
