... Rocket Chat might be good for now ... is the website chat widget. ...
Which can also be easily implemented with Chatwoot if only a chat widget is required.

@marcusquinn We are switching slowly to Element, will update on how it goes It's a bit complicated having to many of our customers as well.

@girish Nice, last time I looked it felt a bit clunky, but it sounds like they have a commitment to develop, so will have another look at it again too. Saying that, I'm finding Nextcloud Talk just zero effort for onboarding as everyone was already on Nextcloud Files, and seems to like that enough for it to not feel like extra effort for them to use another part of it.

@marcusquinn I see all the praise about NextCloud Talk, however at some point I'd been testing it however, it seems to work pretty well for live one on one talk, but in the other hand, I find very much annoying the constant notifications of every action and move being added to the chat thread, which renders it very difficult to follow the text chat as it is normally. Have I missed something? Or is there a way to cut that?

@micmc Notifications settings at /settings/user/notifications might offer the options you need?
No, I've checked that already. There doesn't seem there's a way to concise that, I thought I was maybe missing something.

I was just reading this...
https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/18a2624/now_that_rocketchat_65_limits_to_25_users_or_less/
Looks like the new 25 user limit can be config'ed back to community edition (no user limit), don't use it myself, thought it might be of interest to those that do. -
Well, I guess they think they are the biggest fish and can start all this shitty behavior. For me, I was already out after I installed it on Cloudron and then a day later I got a mail from a rocket chat employee, trying to get me to buy a license.

it's still possible, but you have to make sure ppl give their consent before they join your server

Very interesting conversation. We are RocketChat users on Cloudron (the app which first brought us in). More and more annoyances (lack of notifications), slowly but surely. Microsoft style Embrace-Extend-Extinguish, except this time it's the RocketChat management team suffocating their own open source version.
Perhaps it's time to freeze the RocketChat updates or even to offer a forked long term version where notifications actually work?

Anyone aware of any apps built using https://swellrt.org ?

@robi How is swellrt.org relevant to RocketChat?
