Has anyone tried Twist ( https://twist.com/ https://twist.com/ )? It looks a lot like Zulip but with a nicer UI. I think it is crazy that Slack has not invested more in first-class threaded, context-aware conversations.
- NickBusey 7y agoTried it. While the interface looks 'nicer' at first glance, it fits far less content on the screen. It also had more of an email-y vibe while Zulip has more a chat-y vibe, which I personally prefer. Beyond that, Zulip is open source and self-hostable, while Twist is not. Side note, we have a chat about self-hosting set up on Zulip at https://homelabos.zulipchat.com/ https://homelabos.zulipchat.com/ with 85 members and growing. It's been great for new users to be able to come in and catch up on old discussions in a way that isn't possible with non-threaded platforms.
- cvburgess 7y agoThat's great to know! I look forward to trying Zulip at some point, it seems to get a lot of love in this thread.
