Beeper, featured in that blog post, looks like a more sane version of the Ferdi multi messenger. I hope it gets to feature parity with Fluffychat, soon, so I can use it on my desktop maybe?

What's more sane about it ?
you don't have multiple browsers running for what is essentially all of the webpages of the services you're using, but you have a combined messaging frontend where everything works and looks the same. For example, I really dislike how every messaging app has their own way of doing things and Matrix currently enables me to combine several into one. I might shell out the $10 a month if they manage to integrate Teams well, as it'd really make my day easier. Ferdi has its benefits, but also lots of quirks which are not its own fault, but really that the app makers can't federate and do https://xkcd.com/927 for walled-garden reasons instead.
Added thread UI for Slack-bridged rooms. Internally they're just replies like before, but the client will intelligently collapse replies in Slack rooms into threads
so does this mean matrix has threads now too or is it just for slack bridged rooms?
