Introducing Discourse Chat (BETA)

Congrats on the first publicly accessible release.

For our goat farmers and cheese makers community, my master plan long term is to move some people who spend time in Facebook for chats only over to our Discourse community.

For the professional Jai programming language developer online community I’m building from ground up, my plan is to demonstrate Discourse Chat as an alternative to Discord chat.

For some of my clients who use Slack basic features only, I already managed to move project management over to Discourse, but once this plugin becomes stable-ready-for-production, I’ll start offering it as a complete Slack replacement.

Finally, my big-dream-almost-unrealistic plan would be to convince Toptal management to abandon Slack and move onto Discourse completely. Slack sucks big time by not giving a way to organize knowledge into searchable, collectively editable, categorizable, watchable threads.
