This leads to 404. Their official blog says nothing about it ( http://blog.gitter.im/ ) and Twitter also says nothing about it ( https://twitter.com/gitchat ).

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
Protocol? I kind of assumed things like Slack, Gitter, etc. were just using websockets that communicate with their backend.
Slack is built on top of IRC. Presumably Gitter is as well
Any source on that. I don't think it follows any protocols at all. Just implements it's own thing.

#35Every next move by Gitlab makes them grow in my eyes, personaly. Few weeks ago I started using it as my main "portfolio", it's not much but I really like their way of thinking, openness and providing services. Their whole eco-system is looking really interesting right now, and I hope they will continue to advance and grow. Edits: typos, wrote from phone.
They definitely have a very interesting strategy, one that is well suited to their target market (= programmers). They're probably the most open company I've seen. Still, I can't justify moving off GitHub, for now. Gitlab has some growing left to do, especially on the SaaS part.
Still, good luck to them :-)

Slack is definitely not built on top of IRC. There is, however, an IRC interface to Slack.

Thanks for the confidence in our approach :D Being open and honest about everything is super important to our company culture. We definitely have some great stuff in the pipeline for the next few months.

Thanks for using as part of your main portfolio Philip! Can I ask what else is in there?
