desktop VS Mattermost

On the desktop platform end, we’re making progress on the diagnostics project and preparing for the Desktop 5.2 release.

On the desktop platform end, we’re in extremely hardcore negotiation with Apple to ship v5.2.1 of our desktop app to the Mac app store. While flexing that muscle, we’re also working on the desktop diagnostics UI. While not technically platform work: floating panels for Calls are coming to the desktop app, adding to the list of differentiators that make the desktop app The Best Client™️ for every extremely hardcore Mattermost user. And if you’re not one of them, you have no business being here, frankly.

On the desktop platform end, we are finally getting native node_modules to work, allowing for deeper integration into each of the OSes we support. As an initial demo of this ability, we will support picking up the “do not disturb” mode from the OS. On recruitment news, we will have the desktop team double in size on August 8, when Tasos will join us 🎉 Which is, incidentally, the same day that Pantelis will join as the web and desktop engineering lead (again: 🎉). That’s right, we’re onboarding half of Greece in a single day (the other half was already working for us in the SRE team).

On the desktop platform end, translations have landed! If you know some language that is not English, join our localization channel and help out getting the desktop app translated to your favorite and least favorite languages! There’s also work in progress to improve window resizing performance. The resizing performance regressed to be comically slow on some OSes, as you can see in my jiff attached to that PR.

On the desktop platform end, we’re making good progress on our goal to add translations to the desktop app, as well as adding native node_module support. We’re also ramping up on how to do e2e test runs in an automated fashion.

Went ahead and posted a feature request: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/1476

> Tell me another platform that is free, has realtime chat, voice and video, has stable service, allows sharing images and other media, with good ownership management... and is open source.

Mattermost: https://mattermost.com/

Rocket.Chat: https://www.rocket.chat/

Nextcloud Talk: https://nextcloud.com/talk/

Self hosting and some assembly required. I've run all of them on cheap VPSes to explore a Slack/Discord replacement, neither was mindblowing but all of them seemed okay (Nextcloud's offering was rather barebones, though).

Audio and video support varies because getting those right is challenging, at best you'd just integrate with something like Jitsi, that one's actually pretty good for meetings and such: https://jitsi.org/ and has a cloud version too: https://meet.jit.si/ (yet people still go for Zoom and it's odd UI/UX choices)

I actually rather liked forums back in the day, but I guess nobody will be setting up that many phpBB instances in the current year, though projects like Discourse also seem promising: https://www.discourse.org/

I don't think many people at all will be leaving Discord, due to how entrenched the platform is (network effect): if you want people to help you with what you're working on, you go where they are, not vice versa.

Mattermost for Chat, and also for Notifications sent by Uptime-Kuma

Mattermost offers a secure, open-source solution for seamless collaboration throughout the software development lifecycle. Tailored to cater to technical and operational needs, it easily integrates with a wide range of third-party developer tools—to streamline development and engineering workflows. With self-hosted and private cloud deployment options, coupled with access to the source code, you have complete control over the data via a shared, adaptable, and extensible platform designed specifically for your team. Kindly suggested by Molasses_Major.

FWIW, most of the TypeScript lines of code are in the E2E tests[0] and the webapp dir [1], which, as the name suggests, contains "the client code for the Mattermost web app". So we should really only be counting lines of Go code.
