Hey, what do you use neo4j for? I am interested in your use case as I have recently started using it also.
Thanks!

You say that as if it's a good thing...
IRC is not going anywhere but projects like neovim use gitter primarily while IRC is linked using a bot. They view the IRC chat in gitter. Dunno if Gitter is better than IRC as I have only used for help and support (for me) but Gitter was far easier to use than IRC. Just Login and start chatting. I don't think IRC is going anywhere either... We just have alternatives to freenode now in Gitter
Gitter has had an IRC bridge since pretty much day 1. This allows you to connect to Gitter via any IRC client.

Gitter co-founder here: we use neo4j for suggesting rooms.
So, if you're in room A and room B, and most people in those two rooms are also in room C, then we suggest that you join room C.
As I mentioned elsewhere, we also use some non-neo4j based methods for suggestions (including your GitHub graph). One of the problems we've had with neo4j is that we haven't been able to make it scale. It frequently burns up from being overloaded.
This is almost certainly down to the way we use neo4j but at some point I'd like to ditch it for a clustered suggestion algo that uses batch processes to cluster rooms together.
Re: Gitter is open source
#74Page should tell at first glance what gitter DOES.
Great point. We "soft launched" this yesterday so are still working on the documentation and hadn't made any official announcement yet until we've ironed out in any kinks. Looks like HN announced it for us...
Blame reddit rather, that's where I saw it and only then posted here. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6l2jjj/gitter_...

it's not very comfortable to use though. Partially because the gitter features don't match how IRC is used 1:1, partially because it seems to have some bugs and sometimes does the simplest possible but uncomfortable thing (which might now get fixed!)
Re: Gitter is open source
#76I just wish I had time to work in my side-project http://git.chat and investigate the ability to implement chat-like functionalities into the git-repo/protocol itself.
I really think any kind of discussions related to open-sourced projects should be stored together with it rather than a 3rd party in a closed environment.

Re: Gitter is open source
#78Asking users to run mongo, es, neo4j, and redis is a tall order. Mattermost just needs (AFAIK) a relational database. Also, less relevant but the Gitlab UI has far too much wasted whitespace. Like 85% of the page is navigation. I like open source competitors to incumbents but maybe just copy Github here - no one is gonna say anything.
Hi, co-founder of Gitter here. Gitter is not intended to be a replacement for Mattermost, Slack or other team collaboration tools. We see Gitter as a community instead. As such, we're not expecting to see a huge uptake of on-site installations, so the list of required services (es, neo etc) is big compared to other products focused on on-prem. We're hoping that our users will contribute to the main site, Gitter.im. O…
What would be the hardware requirements to run gitter for a couple of hundred accounts?

Mattermost isn't exactly a simple bbcode-enabled chatroom though. They have support for multiple projects, an API etc. Achieving this with just text files would be quite the headache.
They also have horrible android client and you have to pay for mobile notifications. I ended up using matrix/riot instead. Much better clients and grows nicely.
Hi omnimus, thanks for the mention.
Mattermost has a brand new, open source Android client in beta written in React Native used by thousands of testers: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattermost...
It's greatly improved from the original version and official release is this month.
Mattermost mobile notifications aren't a commercial feature, they are just off by default due to privacy (push notifications appear on a mobile device when the device is locked).
Go to System Console > Notifications > Mobile Push > Send Push Notifications to enable.
You can also deploy your own Mattermost Push Notification Server (https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-push-proxy) and compile your own Mattermost Android and iOS apps (https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile) for total control.

> Asking users to run mongo, es, neo4j, and redis is a tall order. Not really. Why? Reddit is opensource but it'd damn hard to setup correctly and start your own instance.
Just because Reddit does it rather badly does not mean that other OSS projects shouldn't try to do better.
