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...

That's been mostly true for a while anyway. You still can't delete or sanely edit a message in hipchat.

> Atlassian, the company behind popular tools like … Trello sigh 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 e…

I thought Trello was created by FogCreek, no?

It's good to see thoughtful competition in this space - Slack is mostly a joy to use, but we really need healthy competition. In the absence of widely-used open standards, the consequences of putting ever-increasing our institutional memories into proprietary, centrally controlled systems may depend upon how much competitive pressure the providers feel.

Chat applications for work are insanely sticky, though? You can offer 5 great new features and a $500/month lower price-tag and I'm probably not going to want to lose my searchable chat history and have everyone unable to communicate for a week while we switch.

Slack, 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.

I'm curious as to what will happen to HipChat. Having 2 competing chat products under one roof isn't ideal, I'd assume one will get the axe at some point.

There is a direct migration path from HipChat Cloud to Stride: https://confluence.atlassian.com/stride-documentation/faq-st...

Fingers crossed it has desktop clients that aren't written in Electron...

Have you noticed Slack slow down/use too many resources as a result of being an Electron app? Honest question, I've never used Slack, but have used other Electron apps and never really have any issues.

Now 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 wish people used IRC instead of all of these proprietary tools. I don't love the Slack client, xchat is much better.
