There is Mattermost which you can self host. Once you do, you will realize the DB grows REALLY fast
Our enterprise deletes all PMs after 24 hours. That's one way to not worry about that.

There are many! None of them have power of Microsoft monopoly
Microsoft a monopoly in 2025?? In what? - operating systems? The Mac has over a 20% market share in the US. I haven’t used a Windows PC for work since 2017. I’ve used Macs across 4 companies - Office Suites? GSuite has a higher market share and the company I work for now uses it. - Chat? Slack has 25%. Absolutely no one in the industry is afraid of Microsoft anymore

Azure, SQL, Dynamics and PowerBI come to mind. Together with the integration in the Microsoft 365 suite/page/ecosystem.
Just a quick internet search shows that PowerBI has around a 25% market share.

There's limited space on the front page, and the topic of AI is so prevalent, it occupies a lot, every day. Right now 10 out of 30 stories on the front page are about AI and LLMs.
Yeah, it's a Trump-related political outrage, or it's an AI thing. I feel anecdotally like the AI-related things are even more prevalent, but would love to see some data on it. The Trump stuff seems to get flagged very much, and the AI stuff, very litle. It's heady times, anyway, that's for sure.
There was a great post by someone who did some analysis on HN content, just yesterday. Can't remember keywords to find it though.

Yup. Immediately a negative impression from me. Doesn't mean it won't sell, congrats to OP, but god I hate everything about Teams. Right now it's showing me calendar items with times that are wrong, they'll switch to the right time in a few minutes... probably. I didn't change time zones, I didn't do anything, it's just something wonky about their new calendar setup. If the time updates I'll click to open the calenda…
My personal favorite UX-failure-of-the-moment in Teams: If I open the teams tab > Browse, it shows a big list of company-wide channels that I could join. There's a search box, but unlike any normal search box, it only does a prefix search, so if your channel is named "some test channel", and you search for "test", it doesn't find it! Several times I've given up at guessing the right channel name and had to ask cowork…
And we're not talking edge cases, just "It's been solved since the 60s" meat and potato use cases.

Whenever I schedule a meeting, Teams warns me that some attendees are in a different time zone. Except they aren’t. I’ve confirmed with coworkers and checking our settings. And then there’s the “helpful” way teams resets the calendar view: let’s say I’m going back through calls from last week to see how long they took. In Teams, I go back a week, click the calendar item, record the time in my app, then go back to the…
I used to have a problem very similar to this, where the "working hours" Teams showed on my profile were in the wrong time zone. It turned out the solution was to go deep into some submenu of the Microsoft account settings website (_not_ anywhere in the actual Teams app) and edit the account time zone preferences, so perhaps look into that and make sure those match the local settings in the Teams app.

The number of new and novel ways companies (Microsoft and Apple specifically) have found to screw up search is mind boggling. And we're not talking edge cases, just "It's been solved since the 60s" meat and potato use cases.
it's because they hired "frontend" developers to develop these features, likely someone with little actual compsci experience, and have little to no room to make the feature and under a tight deadline.
> It’s available right where employees already spend most of their day — in Microsoft Teams. Depression and dread is coming through me. All the repressed memories are flowing back up.
Our company is forcing us to drop slack and use teams. It’s going to be terrible. But hey it saves 600k per year. Never mind that our customer experience will become terrible as team communication fails.
These moves are always penny wise and pound foolish if you ask me.
That being said, I find it a bit discouraging that small-team passion projects with even the best product-market fit and minimal marketing spend only reach this level of profitability after 5 years.
Like, I can work at a FAANG, coast, make no real contribution to society and collect a 400K/yr check. Or I could go all in on a cool idea and risk getting no customers. Option 2 sounds more fun, but it's still so much stress and uncertainty for little payoff.
Do others feel the same?
