Totally agree with this, not to mention that chat apps are some of the most boring, uninteresting, and braindead "problems" to solve and they have been basically completely "solved" over and over again since bulletin boards.
- jamesfinlayson 4y agoAnd yet Atlassian managed to not solve it with HipChat and not solve it again with Stride.
- glotzerhotze 4y agoWhat does that tell about Atlassian?
- paulryanrogers 4y agoThey're rich enough to try twice?
- jamesfinlayson 4y agoI only vaguely remember Stride but I don't think it amounted to much more than a rebranding of HipChat.
- antifa 4y agoAtlassian is weird in that they seem to have vacuumed up the entire market but all of their products are (AFAIK and experienced) objectively shitty and have negative demand.
- hericium 4y agoIt's different with Google products. Every new iteration of Hangouts/Chat (or whatever it's called this week) is a bit more "unsolved" than what they're killing to introduce it. It's less boring when your tools are getting shittier over time.
- antifa 4y agoA zulip clone written in end to end rust sounds interesting, with reasonable allowances for non-rust code on android/iOS. So maybe just end to end swift would also be fine. But instead, probably instead we're going to get something like kernels written in electron forced onto us by our IT departments out of nowhere just because it's included in our Microsoft or Atlassian plan at no additional cost.
