What's the best community chat app?
I love Slack, but am wondering if there is a better app for creating a community around a particular topic. Something that is beautiful, easy, reliable, and allows anyone to join the conversation. Also, an app that allows people to search for communities and join them publicly.

- Alec Jones15-years-old · WrittenHey, they don't seem to have Facebook Groups on PH - but that is what I would recommend. It isn't the prettiest, but it is definitely reliable, easy, and allows anyone to join.

- Cedric AmayaSelf-taught Web Developer · WrittenOpen source, similar to Slack so low learning curve, multiple clients (desktop, mobile, and web). Try it out!
- Tweegenic1Noble Investor · WrittenFlock is best free chat app. All-in-all it fits perfectly in your requirements! There are a lot of reasons that Flock is the best! One being that it greatly reduces your dependency on apps for task tracking and setting up reminders due to its inbuilt PM tools.

- Karthik ManjunathProduct Enthusiast and Founder @ Tminus · WrittenTMinus is a community based countdown app. A countdown is usually based on a topic or an event you're looking forward to. Beautiful & easy - Subjective . But I would say it's easy to use. Reliable - The App is in Beta. Allows anyone to join the conversation - Yes. Search for communities and join them publicly - You could search for countdowns that would interest you and join them publicly.
- Tim KinnaneChatbot broodfather, Amazebot · WrittenRocket.Chat started as an open source Slack clone, but is now used and extended by a diverse range of communities with specific needs. Because its open and self hosted, there's a freedom of customisation, but also the privacy and security benefits of not relying on a platform ecosystem that might have adverse changes or go away.
