Episode notes

This chapter explores the strategic long-term benefits of providing standard plans to community-driven organizations, emphasizing their impact on network expansion and user feedback. It contrasts established platforms like Slack with new alternatives such as Zulip, highlighting concerns over stagnation and the commitment to enhancing community-oriented software functionalities.

We’re joined by Alya Abbott from Zulip, the open source, organized, threaded, team chat for distributed teams of all sizes. We talk about Zulip’s origins, how it’s open source, the way it’s led, no VC funding, what makes it different/better, how you can self-host it or use their cloud, moving to Zulip, contributing and being a part of the community…all the things.
