I am not familiar with the github sponsors, patreon and all ... I would like to sponsor them in the name of a company I run, do any of those options give me an actual invoice ?
Zulip is such a joy to use after other solutions. Threads are something that's hard to bend your team around at first (mainly non tech users), but they seem so obivous afterwards and it's hard to use another team chat without them.
One of the few things I wish it had was better admin and audit tools, because in my industry that is mandatory and while you can do it by poking the database yourself a reliable, featured tool would be great. As-is I use Zulip for internal chat and another solution for external (with customers).
In general, in its control panels and settings and options Zulip maybe feels a bit too "power user, then we restrict" than the other way around, eg when having an external user on my network it's a bit overwelming that their settings screen includes the entire org settings (but they can't change them). Pushing to your team is one thing, but when pushing something to customers or 3rd party any unwanted complexity is a major pain point.
Frankly in general Zulip doesn't LOOK like something you want to show to the people you ask money from (your customers), just like your car dealer doesn't want you looking at the inside of the car's engine. I know it's a difficult complaint to tackle because it's not about functionnality but purely perception.
Hope the team does well and looking forward to the future
- tabbott 5y agoThanks for being interested in sponsoring us! Contact us (https://zulip.com/help/contact-support); https://zulip.com/help/contact-support); there's a few options for how we might get you an invoice. The product feedback on external guests is very helpful! You're encouraged to stop by chat.zulip.org and start threads in #feedback about each item if you'd like to help design how we address it, but in any case I'll discuss them with the community. (For readers missing context, Zulip provides read-only access to many organization-level settings to normal users as a form of documentation on the organization's policies and what options exist that one might ask an administrators to adjust).
