mattermost is so so so clunky and uncomfortable, but hey, it's free...

Is it? We've been using it self-hosted for years, together with GitLab. It meets all the needs of a small company, and is very pleasant to work with for devs too (i.e., basic Markdown just works, so you can post anything from code to log snippets in a sensible manner).

Setting up Mattermost was one of the best decisions we've made with regards to our tools.

  • Funny you would mention GitLab - I find it extremely clunky, especially compared to GitHub. Maybe GitHub is primitive in comparison, but it never makes me hunt for basic functionality and the search just works for about everything.

I'm quite sure they are open to pull-requests..

  • yawn it's very, very old to tell people "do it better else shut up", which is exactly what you did.

    people can have an opinion you know. this is my opinion.
