I have been using a free plan for over two years. Zulip is awesome and, in my opinion, way better that slack. I use both on a daily basis.

- usr1106 3y agoI agree. If I ever have to leave my current job (which could be soonish, startup and runway you know...) one of the things I'll miss most is the clean messaging experience provided by zulip. Everyone who likes the HN UX should be comfortable with zulip, even if it's quite a bit richer in details. We run our zulip on a smallish EC2 instance. It's probably less than a Euro/month/employee.
- dijit 3y agoWe pay zulip for their hosted version, which works out cheaper than slack and in any event I would like to support the development. I have had pushback from non-technical staff (and pushback from tech workers for a week, but now they seem to be very happy aside from UX bugs esp with the mobile app). If you're ever looking for work, we are hiring across the board, fully remote in Sweden or Germany. (due to tax!)
- usr1106 3y agoSponsoring their development is a good point. Thanks for the hint. As a German speaking Swedish that could be a great fit. I have coded a component for Lamborghini but not a part of my career I am particularly proud of. There should be smarter things to do than ruining the planet. So don't expect an application despite of zulip ;)

- usr1106 3y agoYeah, the game is not the problem. But customers admiring fast cars wouldn't really inspire me. Not my world, sorry.
