Tried to convert some non-techie business types to using Zulip. Was really difficult to get them to understand streams and threading. Perhaps the project just needed more political will and buy-in, but ultimately the instance on DO ended up a ghost town. To be fair, these users don't use any of the alternatives, either. I was super excited to find out that it's built using Django. It wasn't too hard to get running on VM using the install instructions. edit: one downside with a self-hosted instance and the android app was that you need to send Zulip (the company/org) copies of your app secret to enable push notifications. When we were demoing, the way to do this was through an email(!) which seemed poor security, but it seems things have changed since then and there is now a Django management command to achieve this.
