> <i>If you write [here's a link](<a href="https://gmc.uy" rel="nofollow">https://gmc.uy</a>), it shows it as a link :)<p>> The nice part? it shows it as a link for everybody, not only those who have the extension installed.</i><p>Wait, wat? I'm looking at the code[0], and this is the most surprising part of this entire project to me. Slack goes out of its way to say "we don't support Markdown because we think the link support is an exploit." But they just have an alternate, undocumented way to send links anyway?<p>Is that a bug on Slack's side? I'm trying the syntax format that you're casting to in DMs to myself, and it doesn't seem to work? Are they doing clientside escaping or something?<p>Don't get me wrong, I think the "people might phish links" excuse is kind of lame when there are multiple ways for them to mitigate that problem, I'm just very curious about how and why this works.<p>[0]: <a href="https://github.com/g3rv4/BetterSlack/commit/24ad3b57da7a9c9c6455a038b96a2ac44a71ac73" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/g3rv4/BetterSlack/commit/24ad3b57da7a9c9c...</a>
