As noted in the OP, Zulip is not a closed-source product anymore. But I'm not sure that really helps so much with the immediate problem, since it's more the proliferation of protocols rather than the scarcity of source that causes issues.
Yes, that's the title of the thread, you can assume I read that far at least ;) I'll give you I wasn't very clear. I'm super excited Zulip is going open source. And it's both the proliferation of protocols and the closed-sourceness(?) of the products that is problematic. Open source has two coupled benefits: 1. If the product becomes popular, it's easy to integrate with it, extend it, modify it, etc rather than just…
We have both already :)

In addition to Zephyr mirroring, which we've had since 2012.

#85Slack, Zulip, this feels like we are back in 1999, when the internet was divided by ICQ, AOL Instant Messanger, Windows Live Messanger, and Yahoo Messanger. (Instant/Live was a plus back then). And the only innovation over IRC was a backlog and buddy list. I wonder when the Trillian of Slack+Zulip will come out. I hope Trillian (which still exists) is already working on it.
We at sameroom.io do this in sort of backend-only way.

#86I'm curious on the separate uses of Redis, RabbitMQ and Memcached... it seems these uses could all just use Redis. And have a lower overall memory/cpu footprint to boot.
Zulip use RabbitMQ for passing messages where persistence is desired; last I checked Redis didn't support persistent on-disk queues.
Zulip's use of redis right now is basically just for the API rate-limiting; it could be easily removed.

#872015 The year of the chat clients
?->building facebook clones->building twitter clones->building slack clones->? This does look like a good product though. Personally I like the style of this more than slack at first glance. Running your own server and being open source are awesome. I can't wait to see what people build on it.
Isn't Slack an IRC client with some project management features?

#88No linux client? That's a deal breaker for us right there... Pity, looks interesting otherwise.

#89I was just about to try out Mattermost for our company communications. It integrates with a few things including gitlab, but Zulip seems to have a larger number of integration options, which is awesome. Anybody tried both and have thoughts on them? I still prefer to host my own infrastructure, and I want to be able to archive and categorize a discussion (after it's happened) for searchability, but a couple of our peo…
lets-chat (https://github.com/sdelements/lets-chat) works fine with XMPP and is relatively straigtforward to setup.

Is it me or does the font on that page suck for readability?
Can you provide a screenshot and what browser/OS you're running? I'll look into it.
Looks pretty bad on my end too, Firefox on Windows 7 64bit.
