Haven't used Stride yet but as someone who hates always-on chat I could see myself really appreciating its deep work oriented features: mute notifications, allow others in the channel to mark things as "task", "decision", "outcome" so you can go back and find important things you missed while deep working. https://www.stride.com

Any sources on that? I'm pretty sure it's a heavy re-architecting at the very least, but if it's the same team and lead, have they gone entirely from scratch or repurposed some of Hipchat's code? (just questioning) Not curious enough to do the kind of blackbox exploration folks at https://webrtchacks.com or other sites do :)
We're still running Hipchat at work, and haven't gotten any "switch now, peasants" emails.

I believe they are in the process of sunsetting HipChat. It was not successful.
They gave us a deadline to move (~2000 users). So we're just getting the Slack business case ready. If we have to move AND pay more money anyway, then why not just go to Slack?
it's safe to say this won't be killing slack in any meaningful way. wow, that's a terribly atlassian UI they plopped on there. no offense to the dev team(s), i'm sure they had no say in making it so cluttered. slack wins because they make focus on communication not mandatory UI components that have no place in a chat app.
I don't know what it is about Atlassian's branding but it always feels uncomfortably corporate to use any of their software. I'm worried that if I start using Atlassian software I'm going to have to buy inexpensive business-casual clothes, commute an hour and 15 minutes both ways, make small talk with Janet from accounting by the coffee machine while my mocha latte brews, and get Greg my middle-manager my self-assess…
I don't need any more bright, pastel colours, cute little characters, etc.

Honestly, in a way it's kind of refreshing. They're not trying to be all cutesy and hip like so many startups, which usually just seems unnecessary and almost gets in the way. I don't need any more bright, pastel colours, cute little characters, etc.

What happened to HipChat? It was already the same thing as Slack for less money.
You will find pretty annoyed people if you search for "report hipchat bug".
