Anybody using matrix protocol? And riot.im client? Thoughts?
- akerro 9y agoIt's better than Slack in terms of usability, performance and UI (subjective), but lacks some integrations that Slack has. Search engine is quite poor (not that Slack is any better, it's shit too).
- nukeop 9y agoRiot has everything Slack does, but it's more competent and free. And obviously the main selling point is compatibility with all kinds of other chats.
- akerro 9y ago>Riot has everything Slack does Gitlab integration?
- kemonocode 9y agoAt my workplace we use Rocket.chat and it does have GitLab integration, so there's another possible alternative.
- nukeop 9y agoYes, of course. But unlike Slack you are not limited to "official" "integrations", you can add arbitrary widgets and can write your own.
- Unklejoe 9y agoI'm running the reference Matrix server (Synapse) on my home computer, and I'm using the Riot.im client. I mainly use it to communicate with a group of three friends. They are using Android, and I'm using an iPhone. It seems to work about as well as any other messaging app, which is impressive if you ask me, considering it's completely open and self-hosted.
