Probably the best I have used, easily prefer it to Slack but it's hard to convince people to use stuff other than Slack.
- sschueller 6y agoI'm just not a fan of React Native mobile apps (same with rocket chat). Specifically Android, they are large and slow. I recently looked into an online banks APK (also some JS framework) and there was one 100k line JS file with hundreds of lines of "if IOS" in it, on android...
- rvz 6y agoI have no problem with any chat apps written in React Native. I've used Discord's mobile app and haven't heard of any complaints from anyone using it and the 4.5 to 5 stars from its users on iOS and Android show this. Their Electron desktop apps however, just like the rest of the chat clients from Slack, Element, Keybase, Zulip, Rocket.Chat are a complete horror show. Feasting on my poor MacBook's RAM and disk space like an all-you-can-eat-for-free buffet until the disk and RAM is full. Waste of resources for a chat app on the desktop. With Mac Catalyst, there is no excuse for this carnage on macOS. Other solutions are less mature but I would rather have React Native maturing on the desktop for Mac, Windows and Linux as an alternative to Electron.
- nolok 6y agoI second zulip, it offers most of the features you want, is truly self hosted so your data stays home (very important for me in my business) and the self hosted version is not missing half the features (eg full search). Only thing missing is a more modern UI (I like the UI as is but in non tech companies it's hard for many users to use it compared to the cutesy competitors). The stream / topic system works great once you get into it, but make sure to use it rather than fight against it.
