Another great function: because it supports to post, it is possible for me to send my same daily standup message to the three different groups to which it applies. You can multi-post when the recipient groups don't share a view.

@icedquinn I highly recommend Zulip. Unlike other communication tools (Slack, Teams, Discord) it is based on a long-standing standard which it implements and enhances (email), and is also an excellent member of the Open Source community. I tried out their Docker version and was pretty pleased, then switched to their free hosted version so I didn't have to fiddle with Apache/Nginx/Docker stuff.

@worldsendless it helps when you're the internal utility of a company that does something else (Dropbox.) the working group is free to make it good, not so much trying to appease the VCs.

@icedquinn I believe DropBox dropped Zulip years ago, or at least Open Sourced them after ~18 months. I'm not sure whether Dropbox currently is financial sway on Zulip, but Dropbox did provide a burst of funding for the pre-release version back in 2018. zulip.com/history/

@icedquinn Big agreement on this, though. Being the internal utility of a major organization + being open sourced can only help.
