Cloud based solutions are much easier to set up and much more reliable compared to on premise solutions, which is another reason why Atlassian also created Hipchat cloud and Confluence cloud.ĭisclaimer: I'm from Flock ( ). While building Flock, we faced multiple issues with firewalls which took us a great deal of time to tackle to ensure that notifications work well ( We ditched TCP with TLS and came up with our own protocol similar to Facebook zero which relies on shared secured key for encryption). Mobile networks can be incredibly flaky and unless you have geographically distributed servers it's hard to guarantee latency and performance. Office networks have firewalls with not so great configurations. ![]() ![]() Does it offer to automagically truncate like Slack, or do I still have to delete some characters and try again in a loop until the message sends?ĭoing on premise is hard. Speaking of paste, I'm glad the message character limit got increased from 4000 to ~16k in 5.0. I guess this is hard to get around given that there are slash-commands, but if I had a dime for every time I tried to paste a path and Mattermost said "Command with a trigger of '/home/shivatron/foo' not found.", I'd be a rich man.ĥ. It's incredible that the native client will mark you as "Away" when you're working on your computer if the Mattermost app is not in focus.Ĥ. typing Command-K+"alice" sends a DM to Alice, but typing Command-K+ "alice, bob" does nothing).ģ. There is a keyboard shortcut for "Switch Channels" (Command-K), which you can use to send a DM to someone-but you can't use it to send a DM to two people at once (ie. (In particular, you can't sort by "most recent", so if you're chatting with 5 people during the day and you have 40 people in your DM list up, good luck finding them after they're marked as read.)Ģ. There's also no option to sort anything contact-related: you have to have your Channels at the top (Public, Private), then your Direct Messages, subsorted alphabetically. Except maybe it's not different, because unread Direct Messages will always appear in Unread, but unread Channels will only appear in their Team. At the top there is an "Unreads" list, except there is a different unread list depending on which Team you're in. The contact list interface lacks in a couple obvious ways. Some additional observations on Mattermost (currently on 4.0.0.43 of the OS X desktop client)ġ. ![]()
