I don't think Slack is a HTML5 app, at least on Android. The apk contains ~2.5MB of bytecode and half a meg of layouts.

Wow. Indeed. thanks! I really thought that they were HTML5 based on how similar the HTML5 version is compared to the Android experience. Thanks again!

I think Slack is partially HTML5 and partially native on mobile.
