Slack Threads are utter dog shit, so I made a quote reply extension with gpt5

Threads are where information goes to die. I genuinely don't understand how after more than a decade the Slack team hasn't figured this out.

Yesterday I got fed up, so I used cline + gpt5 to vibe code this chrome extension that enables discord-style replies in Slack. If you hate slack threads as much as I do, I think you'll appreciate this.

It's nice that AI coding enables us to do things on a whim like this. Took me like 30 minutes and cost under a dollar. Was listed on the chrome web store that same night.

I also open sourced the repo and already had a PR merged from an opensource contributor who also used AI.
