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.

> The latter is hard to do: push is highly centralized, which is really bad for self-hosted/open source software Why is this the case? I would have thought it's the same in principle whether it's a central Slack server, or a central FooMumble server running Let's Chat. (Difficulty of implementation might be high, but that doesn't seem to be what you're talking about?)

Is there a way to change user avatars? The screenshot has them but I can't find it in 0.3.2. BTW the wiki page for Docker references release/0.3.0, but you don't have that branch naming prefix (release/).

I literally just came from the Slack site to HN wondering if there was an opensource/selfhosting version of something like Slack. Well I guess that question is answered.

There is also `ncat` http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/13460/simple-mult... (I'll see myself to the door.)
