I've long thought that we need a name for what Zulip is other than "team chat." IMO it's different qualitatively than slack/mattermost/discord/teams &c.

- tabbott 5mo agoYeah I've often had the same thought! Ideas are very much appreciated. I do like our current "organized team chat" quite a bit better than the original "group chat", which would often result in confusion with WhatsApp and its equivalents.
- cyberax 5mo agoNaming is hard! Thank you for working on Zulip, it's truly impressive!
- nicoburns 5mo ago> IMO it's different qualitatively than slack/mattermost/discord/teams I always think of it as being halfway between those and more traditional forums (PHPBB, discourse, etc).
- crabmusket 5mo agoI thought of it that way too when I was onboarding into it. When introducing new people to it, I like the topics to email threads, as they also have a subject line and replies. It also gels with the "inbox" part of Zulip's UI.
