#3This is actually pretty cool. I'd be curious to see how well it's adopted, though, since the majority of dev chat that I see occurs in IRC.

#4Looks nice, but what's the value prop over something like HipChat, which already integrates with a lot of different services?
For example, we currently use HipChat and feed in GitHub, New Relic, AirBrake, and CircleCI notifications into HipChat. How will Gitter improve that workflow?

#5It's an interesting concept and could provide an alternative to IRC for GitHub projects.
I've subscribed with an account I created specifically for Gitter. I definitely won't grant the level of access to my account that Gitter asks for currently[1].

You mean just the basic level @facorreia?

Yeah, we're currently building an irc bridge so that you can use it with your irc client of choice.

hi @guptaneil,
we provide a much deeper level of integration with GitHub, and also have integrations with Travis, Jenkins, Trello and are working on more. our issue mentioning and markdown are two really great features built for developers.
there are a few other advantages, for one we handle both free open source projects as well as private conversations. so you can have all of your chat in one place.
for people adopting a new chat programme, inheriting your "social graph" in the form of your org members and repos you belong to/watch/star also means that getting up and running with gitter is really fast and simple.

#9Do you know if something similar exists for mailing lists?
ie for every github project you get a project mailing list to discuss development on a higher level than individual bug reports.

#10Been using Gitter with my Dev Group for a few weeks and we all love it and switched completely to it as our main Chat. It's worth a try and the integration of services like Trello and - for sure - Github is just great! Also Auto-Embedded Links (YouTube, SoundCloud, images (jpg, png, gif)). Really love it and I'm looking forward to the apps. :)
