Work uses Slack, which is quite entrenched in the organization, so trying to move all of my contacts over to something else would be nontrivial. Colleagues use it to send moderately urgent messages every now and then, so notifications on my phone would be a nice-to-have.
I haven’t had much luck finding well-maintained open-source clients for Slack. I could sandbox Play Services alongside the official app or a browser, but I’d rather not make my phone run the whole Google Play stack just for those notifications. Did I miss any low-hanging fruit or is hosting a Matrix bridge the only alternative?
Cant request one? Just buy a used, cheap, bottom of the barrel android phone for work purpose. Trust me, its worth it.
It’s a hassle handling two phone but for me its well worth it. Anything work related goes into that phone. I dont touch it once im clocked out. Disable every single app that are not work related.
