Been using it for an hour or so and haven't run into any issues - what have you found? Just saying critical bugs is pretty unhelpful to everyone.

I used it for five minutes and found: There is no way to search for a person in the Lobby and you can't reorder the tabs. These are two things I do a lot.

Command+N works to search for people everywhere (when it does work, the app does freak out occasionally).

I don't do those things at all. I'm surprised you consider those critical bugs.

One day we will be big enough to need the ability to search for a person! :)

I agree on reordering tabs though - you can re-order one tab and then it locks down.

Those aren't bugs.

Hey - Garret from HipChat here. We're still working on retina assets for some of the app icons, and haven't started on retina versions of the emoticons quite yet. Hang tight!

Garret are there any plans to offer a self-hosted HipChat solution similar to how Jira and Confluence have self-hosted pricing? My company is limited to our chat products due to HIPAA compliance and we would love to use this product for company chat but host it on our own infrastructure.

Seconded. We can't use public services for internal messaging, but we do have JIRA + Stash inside the firewall. Hipchat server would be good, or is it XMPP compatible?

Apologies for hijacking the thread, but I'm wondering: We're using Campfire right now, with the Propane mac client, and we have a dedicated room for notifications (currently exceptions from Errbit, monitoring alerts from Nagios, CI build failures on Jenkins, app deployments from our own custom tools). It works pretty well, but we're a team working on a whole bunch of unrelated but overlapping apps, and having everyth…

We pipe everything into Campfire, scoped into the relevant room (last time I checked we had about 80 separate rooms). The topical bit is important- a particular app's notifications get dumped into that app's room, for example. That means I only get notified if I'm in that room. Conversely, that means I don't get excessive notifications if I'm not in the room, for apps I'm not interested in. "Spheres of interest", as…

80 rooms? Ouch. I work on about 8 projects I need notifications for while I'm at work. I can't have 8 rooms open. That's just too much.
