At work we're unfortunately using Slack for group communication. I'm mostly communicating via Jabber and refused to install another chat client software - now I am utilizing the Slack XMPP interface.
​

Psi+ as chat client is working fine, but what annoyed me was my inability to see the emoticons my colleagues were sending. I only got :+1: and :simple_smile: instead of the smiley itself. It was time to change that.
