- woodruffw 11y agoSee the comment above. If you're using Slack to avoid managing infrastructure, there are plenty of great (read: open source) alternatives. Even if IRC isn't for you, there's XMPP, Mattermost [0], Let's Chat [1], and Zulip [2].

- woodruffw 11y agoHey, I didn't know that - that's awesome! Keep up the good work - I'm glad to see an open source group tackling the problem of rich messaging.
