+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
+
+![][1]
+
+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
+
+![][3]
+
+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.
+
+[Zulip][7]
+
+Considering that you can use Zulip on the web, desktop, and smartphones, it is a suitable replacement for Slack.
