Zulip: An Interesting Open-Source Alternative to Slack
|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_**Brief:** Zulip is an open-source collaboration platform that pitches itself as a better replacement to Slack. Let us take a closer look._
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Messaging and collaboration platforms make a big difference when it comes to your work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While there are several options available, Slack is a popular one used by many organizations. But, what about an open-source alternative to Slack that you can self-host?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zulip is one such software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Zulip: Open Source Collaboration Messaging App
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to explore, I must mention that there are more [open-source alternatives to Slack][2] out there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here, I focus on Zulip.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zulip is a free and open-source messaging application with paid hosted options and the ability to self-host.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It aims to provide a similar experience to Slack while striving to help you improve the effectiveness of conversations using topics.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In contrast to channels in Slack, Zulip chat adds topics (which are like tags) to quickly filter through the conversations that matter to you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Features of Zulip
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
You get most of the essential features with Zulip. To list the key highlights, you can find:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Markdown support
|
||
|
|
* Topics for channels
|
||
|
|
* Drag and drop file support
|
||
|
|
* Code blocks
|
||
|
|
* GitHub integration to track issues
|
||
|
|
* Email notification support
|
||
|
|
* Self-host option
|
||
|
|
* Message editing
|
||
|
|
* GIPHY integration
|
||
|
|
* Video calls with Zoom, Jitsi, or BigBlueButton
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to the features mentioned, you should expect the basic options that you usually get with Slack and others.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, you can integrate it with Matrix and IRC if you want.
|
||
|
|
|

|
In my brief test usage, the user interface is good enough for effective communication. However, I failed to find any dark mode or the ability to change a theme.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It looks more straightforward than Slack so that it can improve the user experience side of things.
|
||
|
|

### Install Zulip in Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zulip is available as an AppImage file from its official website. You may refer to our guide on [using AppImage in Linux][5] in case you need help.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is also available as a snap package. So, you can utilize either of them for any Linux distro.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also install it through the terminal for Ubuntu/Debian-based distros using APT. Take a look at its [official instructions][6] if you want that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zulip is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You should also find it available for Android and iOS mobile phones.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
