How does the @mixxxdj open-source community create software that rivals commercial alternatives? Collaboration between users and developers in the community chat on Zulip lays the foundation. New case study: zulip.com/case-studies/m… #opensource #chat

Zulip organized team chat has now been an open-source project for 10 years! 🎉🐙 Check out stories from our community about what Zulip has meant to folks! blog.zulip.com/2025/11/24/zul…

It was great to chat with Russell from @PetriFeed about how we do things differently at @zulip, and the difference that using an organized team chat tool that puts you in control can make. youtube.com/watch?v=nXH1mC…

Microsoft claims to offer free data exports for moving off @MicrosoftTeams, and we requested one. 36 days later, after 21 calls and 29 email conversations with 5 @Microsoft teams, the closest we’ve gotten is a link that lands on an error page. Blog post: blog.zulip.com/2025/09/10/tea…

Zulip 11.0 was released today! This is a major release, with over 3,300 new commits merged since Zulip 10.0. Message reminders, channel folders, channels without topics, and much more! blog.zulip.com/2025/08/13/zul… #opensource #teamchat

@grinich @SlackHQ @Benioff It's wild, and it's not the only way @SlackHQ denies its users control over their own message history. x.com/zulip/status/1…

The new @SlackHQ API rate limits are absolutely insane: For accessing messages, you can now only make 1 request per minute, with a maximum of 15 messages 🤯 And yes this applies to ALL apps, not just public ones. We can't build internal tools on our OWN data. @Benioff this is wrong and hostile to your customers. Please reverse this immediately. If you are worried about abuse, just limit APIs for public apps. Companies must always have unlimited access to their own data in your products.

There’s a new camera app that you’ll just love! Here’s the FAQ for SnatchCam. The content you created being held hostage by the tool you used to create it — who’d agree to such a thing? Anyone who signs up for @SlackHQ. Blog post: blog.zulip.com/2025/07/24/who… #OpenSource #SelfHosted

Zulip continues to get better and better (which I didn't even think was possible, but so it is). Being a user of the hosted version, we get to be the test subject for features as they get developed. Let me say from experience, there are some nice enhancements in this bundle.

Zulip 7.0 was released today! This is a major release, with over 3800 new commits merged since Zulip 6.0. Scheduled messages, unmuting topics in muted streams, many design improvements, and much more! blog.zulip.com/2023/05/31/zul… #opensource #teamchat
