    I don’t even want to think about how much money Lambda School pays Slack, yet at the same time I don’t regret spending a penny

        Hey @AustenAllred Is there any chance I can learn more about how you guys use Slack in LS? We're building @onebar_io and it seems like there's a lot of potential for it in education space. No sales, just learning. Thanks!

        And would you consider alternatives, like Mattermost? At least one high school has adopted it. 1. https://technology.pennmanor.net/2016/05/04/mattermost-an-open-source-slack-alternative/ … 2.https://opensource.com/education/16/3/mattermost-open-source-chat …

        We've evaluated many alternatives and @SlackHQ always comes out far ahead. Expensive, but untouchable.

        What's your growth rate vs slack? If better, just buy them! Problem solved. :)

        Tried @zulip yet? Trialing it at work now. Self hosted. Threaded by default. Not a perfect replacement but pretty darn close in our small experience.

        Thanks for the kind words! Would love to know ways in which it feels like Zulip isn't a perfect replacement.

        working on a fork of https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web … would probably be good for learning how to contribute to an existing project
