You guys should mention MIT license in the title, I didn't click earlier today because I thought it was a paid hosted solution. (Nothing against paid, I'm just browsing as tinkering me atm : )

And, yes, I really liked the text, specially "A real live 10% time project!"

I was hoping the fork ribbon and source code link would be enough. I'll look into adding something more explicit though.

I was about to say "come on, nothing beats IRC", but then I remembered how I always wanted IRC to have LDAP, XMPP, and a REST API. So... can I connect with my IRC client?

I want it the other way - let's clone all those shiny features and make a pretty, nongeek-friendly client. IRC protocol can be extended to handle all that stuff.

People have been working on stuff like that. I dunno if they are super baked yet but https://github.com/ircanywhere/ircanywhere

This is really great. Two big missing features preventing us from switching away from Slack are direct messages and mobile push notifications. The latter is hard to do: push is highly centralized, which is really bad for self-hosted/open source software. But DMs are totally doable.

Push is fairly easy to do. There are JS libs for both Google and Apple push services. The hardest part is getting all of your Apple certs setup correctly. Then you just create a simple Cordova app to register devices.
