#12Isn't hipchat its slack competitor? Where does this leave that project?
Hipchat is already suffering from poor support, its windows client is awful since it went to "version 2".

#13> There also is emoji and Giphy support, of course. But why? It seems that Stride is trying to be the more productive version of Slack, and I think action items and decision notes have potential, but if I keep getting :partyparrot: instead of information related to my job, I'm going to keep basically ignoring my communications app.
I'm unsure if that's a system problem or if [team member] can ruin any medium.
I don't mind planning poker cards having the coffee mug, or the occasional friday afternoon song playing out the speakers, etc, as long as there is a social contract where everyone respects moderation.

#14Now we have Slack, Discord, Gitter, Microsoft Teams, and Atlassian Stride. I'm not sure when chat rooms became a business tool. Personally, I find myself distracted more than anything from all the notifications these apps cause, I get less done. I have to be sure to quit every chat app and put my phone in "do not disturb" to disconnect and focus, and then I get coworkers mad that I'm not online. At least with email I…
I mute every channel I am in except for the private channel of my team.

Check out the Stride FAQ: https://confluence.atlassian.com/stride-documentation/faq-st...
> Starting soon, we will begin to upgrade all HipChat Cloud teams to Stride. HipChat Cloud will continue to work as it does today until your team upgrades to Stride. After upgrading, HipChat Cloud will remain in 'read-only' mode so that you can reference your API configuration in HipChat Cloud and receive integration notifications for those apps that are not yet in Stride.

#17Looks really sharp to me. I like what I see from the workflow, especially when it comes to getting caught back up on things after being away for vacation or snooze.
I'll be interested to see how the Remote Desktop Control premium feature works too. That seems geared towards collaboration/pairing.
#1 question though...will they have a Linux client that they actually care about. The Hipchat linux client was largely an afterthought that hung regularly. It was better to just use Rambox and keep the web version open.

I'm suspecting Hipchat will be for Server/Data Center (i.e. self-hosted) and Stride will be their cloud offering.

Cisco Spark too.
Yes, I echo your concerns about having some "reply" time. Particularly since so many of my co-workers are all too eager to install these on their phones and use them outside of the work-place (i.e. always available to some degree). I absolutely refuse to install the apps, that's my line in the sand!
Re: Atlassian launches Stride, its Slack competitor
#20Hard to take it seriously when Hipchat came first and languished for so long. Even basic stuff like Emoji was a fail (their list included (arrington) and (derp)).
Why launch a new Slack clone when you already have something so closely matching the architecture of Slack? I assume "technical debt" but that's rarely a good reason to start from scratch.
