Mattermost isn't exactly a simple bbcode-enabled chatroom though. They have support for multiple projects, an API etc. Achieving this with just text files would be quite the headache.

They also have horrible android client and you have to pay for mobile notifications. I ended up using matrix/riot instead. Much better clients and grows nicely.

  Hi omnimus, thanks for the mention. Mattermost has a brand new, open source Android client in beta written in React Native used by thousands of testers: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattermost.react.native&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattermost... It's greatly improved from the original version and official release is this month. Mattermost mobile notifications aren't a commercial feature, they are just off by default due to privacy (push notifications appear on a mobile device when the device is locked). Go to System Console > Notifications > Mobile Push > Send Push Notifications to enable. You can also deploy your own Mattermost Push Notification Server (https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-push-proxy https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-push-proxy) and compile your own Mattermost Android and iOS apps (https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile) for total control.

    Sadly the Android's react version seems to lack any share features - the app doesn't appear in any 'share to' dialogues, nor can I share pictures or such from the app itself (For example using rocket.chat I can long press on an image and I will be able to share the picture to other apps). The issue appears to only have around 100 combined votes on uservoice (https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/13689738-receive-simple-share-from-other-apps https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/sugge... + https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/15142020-share-to-mattermost-on-android https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/sugge...) so I'm not holding my breath for this to be implemented anytime soon, but it would be a really useful feature to have for when you need to move graphical assets around and you want to take a quick look on your phone for example.
