What is Zulip?

Zulip is a communication tool tailored for distributed teams, seamlessly blending real-time chat with email-style threading for effective messaging. This platform allows users to prioritize essential discussions while sidelining less important ones. Built on technologies like Electron and React Native, Zulip boasts modern applications available across all major platforms. As a fully open-source project, it benefits from the contributions of a vast community of developers worldwide. With an extensive 120,000-word documentation resource and a robust codebase, Zulip fosters an inviting environment for customization and enhancements. Its developer community is notably larger and more engaged than that of other contemporary open-source chat solutions such as Mattermost and Rocket.Chat. Additionally, Zulip offers over 90 native integrations, along with access to hundreds more through tools like Hubot, Zapier, and IFTTT, while also enabling users to design their own integrations using its versatile API. The combination of features and community support makes Zulip a compelling choice for teams seeking effective communication solutions.

    Self hosted happiness!

    Date: Sep 23 2021
    Summary

    I love and use it daily!
    It doesn't have fancy flashy layouts, but it works and that is what is important to me, especially for receiving error messages/reports into the right stream/topic.

    Positive

    - threading is the "default" (just called Topics) inside streams
    - Self hosted is simple to do
    - "easy" integrations/webhooks
    - Slack "emulation" integration works and "easy" to get going to start
    - No fancy/flashy layouts
    - easy to get webhooks into streams and topics (per day/hour/etc.)
    - Selfhosted free

    Negative

    - Self hosted you have to deal with your own server hosting issues
    - Not everybody integrates first natively to Zulip
    - Takes getting used to
    - No fancy/flashy layouts
