The Slack Web API does allow apps to write messages as_user, but it's a little tricky:

Using Web API would allow:
- Sending reactions across bridge (would require asking each "reacting" user to auth with app, which is no small feat)
- Sending edits across bridge
- Sending "user is typing" messages (using
typing in RTM api)
I agree that this is probably not priority, and so would require someone else to do the work. I would also remove the simplicity of the current approach... I would understand if you think this should be tackled by a separate project :)
