Sad that this isn't available as an on-premises solution out of the gate. We're stuck using internally-hosted HipChat for compliance reasons and it is absolutely awful. The desktop and web clients have only gotten worse over time. This confirms my worst fears that HipChat is basically abandonware.

#22 > Atlassian, the company behind popular tools like … Trello
It's somewhat of a misleading statement that. My take on the "behind" is in the sense that they designed and created the product from its conception. I really love the Trello UX and believe that Atlassian products are the exact polar opposite. The only way an Atlassian product seems to gain love from a community is if they emulate something already in existence.

#23So... is this a website, an Electron app or a native app?
Re: Atlassian launches Stride, its Slack competitor
#24Isn'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".
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.

Can't find any info about a datacenter edition, only the cloud. But if hipchat is going away in cloud, then that is going to mean were not going to see any new features in hipchat datacenter...

#25Slack, HipChat, Mattermost, Skype, IRC, iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal, Wire, etc, etc.
Am I the only one that can't keep track of what service (or app) I need to use to communicate with which person, team or organization?
I'll stick with e-mail until these services finally agree to federate.

#26Now 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…
Mattermost, Rocketchat, ... ?
Re: Atlassian launches Stride, its Slack competitor
#27Hard 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.

A new possibility to build a brand and reputation? From what I can gather HipChat has a pretty "meh" reputation.

I mute every channel I am in except for the private channel of my team.
I mute everything except for direct notifications in Slack. I advise team members this and if they want my immediate attention that have to tag me.

#29I was ready to hate on this as just another Slack clone, but its unique features (actions and decisions) sound pretty great. Those combined with the Focus Mode sound like what Slack needs to have, to be honest.
Slack is just another IRC clone anyway... :-)

#30Twist, by the makers of Todoist, is another take on work chat. https://twistapp.com/
I really like the idea of twist and it seems to work better in the trial we did. But it had some shortcomings
1. No linux client 2. UI/UX is not as polished as slack 3. Can't paste images from clipboard 4. Doesn't support webhooks which means that service integrations are almost nonexistent
