Thank God they discontinued Hipchat.
- drewg123 6y agoOdd, that's the one atlassian product I like. I remember it as being better than slack..
- Orou 6y agoI actually liked Hipchat. It did what it was supposed to do - provide instant chat with colleagues - without the overhead and frills of Slack. It was simple and reliable. I'm not sure why it was so disliked.
- hinkley 6y ago> It was simple and reliable.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoWhat is hard about slack? We use channels for the "group" stuff and IM for quick and dirty chats, otherwise just pick up the phone and call. I personally just prefer using email, but the kids like their slack/discord/whatever
- hinkley 6y agoI had a friend complain it was eating their battery, and my phone battery started acting weird around the time I installed it. Seems better now, did they ever confess to a problem?
- babaganoosh89 6y agoThe memes were also better
- laurent92 6y agoHipchat memes were the main upside of the product, differenciating it from the market. They were 500x500 squares, not tiny emojimemes like in Discord or Slack. You could truely express an opinion. It was heartwarming. Then they decided that they wanted to look serious, and reduced the meme size to 32px. That’s when the product fell out of fashion, because it was just like Slack with fewer features.

- hevelvarik 6y agoUnderrated point
- Izkata 6y agoOn the flipside, "a picture is worth a thousand words"...
- somewhereoutth 6y agoI would say a picture is worth a thousand words for things that can be pictured. Most things actually can't, hence words.
- umanwizard 6y agoWhat do you mean by linguistic progress? AFAIK there isn’t any evidence that human language was much different during the cave painting era than it is now.
