Add Slack Thread support
Currently, Slackord2 does not have thread support, so all messages are placed individually. Support Slack threads and convert threaded conversations to Discord threads where they exist.
If it's helpful, the way that Slack threads work is they use the thread_ts property which is set to the parent message's ts property.
Specifically, I don't have the time right now to get it done programmatically. It will be some time before I can get this implemented.
If you write up a quick contributing guide I don't mind taking a stab at it. I'm unintimidated by the codebase although it seems that the code is duplicated per platform. Is this done programmatically or manually?
It's no problem. It's likely I can get around to it at some point very soon. The challenge is first knowing a message starts a thread, then placing every new comment inside of that thread.
I imagine we do a check to see if there is a timestamp for a thread, then gather all the messages up to the point where the timestamp for the thread is null, then foreach through them and add them to the thread. I just want to make sure I'm taking the best approach at this and want to give myself adequate time to think about the best implementation.
No updates currently on this. I am still working on getting some other bugs and long-standing feature requests in. Once 2.3 is out for Linux/Mac, I can shift focus entirely toward this.
I have begun work on this and am about halfway done through the Windows release. There are some nuances I need to work through - IE: once a thread is created, reply to the thread with additional messages, but I'm nearly finished with the enhancement, then I can move to testing.
This feature has been completed and is now in Slackord v2.4! https://github.com/thomasloupe/Slackord2/releases/tag/v2.4
Appreciate the support for this enhancement request!
