What I miss in Zulip is Slack-like threads. In Slack, when you don't care about a thread, you just don't open it, it doesn't clutter your view. But Slack also misses Zulip's model.
- molsongolden 7y agoThese are topics in Zulip. Async usage for me looks like: 1) Skim list of Streams in the org, streams show the number of new messages in a bubble next to the name 2) Click on the Streams relevant to me to expand the list of Topics with new messages 3) Skim the active Topics to see which are relevant to me and click into each of those to skim new messages and reply if necessary 4) Feel good knowing I've caught up on everything relevant to me without needing to see the thousands of other messages in the org 5) Click the dropdown for each Stream and select "mark all messages as read" so I'm back to the equivalent of inbox zero and can repeat the process later.
- maccam94 7y agoYou can mute topics in Zulip, which should keep it out of the way unless you decide to open it specifically. You can't really have topics if no one sees when they get created. Streams (similar to slack Channels) are not automatically joined. If you find there is too much noise, you may need to split the stream to have multiple more focused streams.
