Slack alternatives?
Slack alternatives?
Hello! I am looking for suggestions for Slack alternatives that meet the following (likely impossible) criteria:
- Modern UI
- Self-hosted FOSS
- Actively developed, or at least stable and maintained
- Comprehensive API for integrations
- Non-shit strategy for determining which device to send notifications to
Regarding UI, I am hoping to find something with a more streamlined implementation of threaded conversations - this is my primary complaint with Slack.
I know there are tons of articles on Slack alternatives, but I'm hoping for a more technical perspective. Are there any Matrix-based options that are refined enough for a small team to rely on as primary method of communication?
Thank you!
Element/Matrix is pretty much what you're looking for if you need self hosted. Could also look into Jabber/XMPP or IRC but Matrix is going to be way more modern and useable.
Mattermost
Zulip
I found Zulip to be much more intuitive than Slack.
I think Rocketchat is what you're looking for.
I'm forced to use slack for work and I fuckin hate it
Could be worse, you could be forced to use teams!
Hello.
Have you tried an FOSS XMPP server solution ?
