Thoughts after around 5 minutes. It's fast, really fast. Cmd + P Fuzzy Find for switching chats between Discord/Slack and person/channel is amazing. Will continue to use as it doesn't appear to be near as buggy as Volt.
However I do wish this was an open source project. Seems odd to close something like this off in this day and age. Seems like another one of these chat clones destined to die off unfortunately.
- ahartmetz 8y agoIt's a better client for a proprietary service. If you / your org cared about freedom, you'd be using Matrix or Rocket.chat.
- samdixon 8y agoUnfortunately it's not so much me, but my friends in this case. If I want to stay in touch with a large group of past co-workers who are all in the same slack, it isn't feasible to convince them all to switch to a self hosted service. Even in the case of those programs you mentioned though, aren't they still plagued by a slow/electron based client? *edit: I just looked into Matrix. Looks awesome. Wish my friends used chat programs like this. I will try to implement this with some of my closer friends.
- ahartmetz 8y agoI have this problem myself, I like very little about Slack but I have to use it for work. And since it's all proprietary anyway, I don't particularly care about the client being Free.
- samdixon 8y agoI just wish the client was free in this case because it would be a shame to see it turn into abandonware. I've only used it since yesterday now, but it's quite performant.
