So I did something fun the other day. I'm MITMing slack messages to be able to send my text to various local models I've fine tuned based on a prefix. I also intercepted websockets to get translations. This took like just 10 minutes to get a working prototype once I had the idea, and I've never done anything like this.

This is cool! How are you intercepting the messages?

Yeah it's actually absurdly useful for interacting with my team, can't believe Slack does not have this built in. Just a python script using an mitmproxy lib it looks like. Opus 4.5 coded it.

There's also a lib called langdetect, so I can translate english <-> spanish based on what message comes through to help me learn. Starting to pick up on a lot more spanish words from this as a result.

Very cool! How did you get Slack to send data through the mitmproxy?

slack --proxy-server=
