As I commented here [1], one of my biggest issues with Zulip is that the mobile apps don't have a "jump to most recent" feature, and whenever I open the app I have to manually scroll past hours (or days or weeks, since I dislike opening the app so much) of old conversations. Has this been fixed/improved? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17623592

The mobile app does a "jump to the first unread message" by default, which is the same behavior the web app follows. If you don't want to read through all the messages in the current stream you can press "Mark as read" and then the app will be jumping you to the latest messages. Would that improve your navigation flow in the app?

Doesn't using rebase generally mean you have to rebase on top of master and thus with your local branch you may need to git push --force ?

You rebase your feature/topic branches on top of master and then merge the feature/topic branch back onto master, enabling a fast-forward merge.

Warning: If you don't also squash the entire topic branch, then you will sometimes break git bisect with this workflow.

We've been using Zulip for just over a week in xi-editor and related projects, and I'm thrilled. Huge improvement over the pastiche of IRC and Reddit we were using before.

Zulip founder here; I should add that Zulip hosting is free for open source projects: https://zulipchat.com/for/open-source/ . A bunch of other cool open source projects use it, including Python Core, parts of the Rust community, MariaDB, Coala, the Lean Theorem Prover, the HL7 standard, and many more.

How do you get the standard plan for an open source project? I don't see anything on that page or anywhere else, should we email the team for the bump?

I'm also using Zulip for Oil [1] and like it a lot :)

Reddit was OK for awhile... I dislike the redesign because there are bugs with code formatting, and because the latency is worse. And it seems like they couldn't really make up their mind visually.

Actually Zulip is one of the lowest latency web apps I've used in recent memory!

I also have problems following IRC because of the lack of threading.

"Just contact sales@zulipchat.com and we’d be happy to discuss your situation!" (https://zulipchat.com/plans/)

That's what I did. Thanks again to them, I really appreciate it.

Do you have any links you could share? Or are you using zulip for internal comms only?

Rocketchat or Zulip? Did somebody try maybe both?

I did. Also mattermost and matrix. Few years ago. Ended up with matrix instance. But it really depends on specific scale and usecase. From what i remember - Rocketchat was based on meteor, which seemed dying at the time + it was computing hungry and clients were especially hungry. - Mattermost worked for a time but you were not able to get mobile notifications without paying for license (not sure about now). Sounds s…

So the matrix guys created a new product/company called https://www.modular.im

It's basically hosted Slack-using-riotchat/matrix.

Very cheap too. Most of the other open source providers (incl Zulip and Mattermost) almost cost the same as slack.

How does it compare to mattermost?

Exactly. We're looking at paying for Slack and mattermost seems to offer most of what Slack does and is something that would be pretty easy to run. It's slick. Well documented and installs nicely in a container. Has anyone here used Mattermost? https://mattermost.com/

Have you tried out Zulip? You may find the user experience pretty compelling. It's an entire alternative interface to the slack or IRC-style of chatrooms, and it's OSS and documents how to make it containerized.

> When you need bigger scale Matrix has some go and rust server implementations, you can also use postgres etc.

Only Synapse is usable though. Dendrite (Go+Kafka) is getting there, but Ruma (Rust) seems to have been stalled waiting for the programming language to stabilize.
