Will they provide end to end encrypted chat next?
- drstewart 8y agoNo, they weren't bought by Google
- Blackstone4 8y agoGitHub is a social network of sorts. There's definitely a network effect and a moat with the large open source projects on there. It'll be interesting to see where Microsoft take this. GitHub is fundamentally a collaboration tool so chat would make sense.
- saagarjha 8y agoThough, I wouldn't be opposed to something like Gitter being built-in, to replace the Slack/Discord/Telegram groups that many projects have.
- geoah 8y agoGitter-like web ui with xmpp or irc options would be a welcome addition indeed. the ability to join a #org or #org/project channel would be epic.
- cryptonector 8y agoA chat feature might be ok, actually, though if we're going to have more IM applications and protocols, I'd rather have a general-purpose one, not one specific to github.
- thinkingemote 8y agoThere used to be a messaging system. You could message any user. Was quite handy for those who you didn't know their email.
