Zulip 4.0: Threaded open source team chat
Apart from the threading model, I love Zulip for its openness.
It's quite sad Slack and Discord are often the first choice for open communities. They are siloed and unless you are deliberately searching in a specific workspace, you'll never run into the information in a search engine.<p>In comparison, Zulip:<p>- provides HTML export functionality <a href="https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive#zulip-html-archive" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive#zulip-html-archive</a> (example <a href="https://leanprover-community.github.io/archive" rel="nofollow">https://leanprover-community.github.io/archive</a> )<p>- URLs are nice and encode meaning (e.g. <a href="https://memex.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/279601-hpi/topic/work.20on.20grafana.2Finfluxdb.20integration" rel="nofollow">https://memex.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/279601-hpi/topic/...</a>)
  ... compare with Slack/Discord meaningless character sequences<p>- I'm excited about <a href="https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/4817" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/4817</a> , which would allow viewing workspaces in 'guest' mode, without registering at all
