Stride is a new way for teams to talk, meet, decide and do. With group chat & direct messaging, voice and video conferencing, and built-in collaboration tools, Stride is a team communication platform from the makers of Hipchat.

Hipchat had no problems so we went ahead and created a new slack clone from scratch ~ Atlassian 2017
Matt Hodges
@h_halvi was Slack not originally a clone of HipChat? Just as HipChat may have been of Campfire? ;)
Benjamin Humphrey
@h_halvi @mattnhodges All goes back to IRC at the end of the day.

@h_halvi @mattnhodges @humphreybc Haha! Finally! It's all a IRC thing.

👋 Hey Hunters! Cameron from the Atlassian Stride team here. @nick beat me to posting. Quick hunting, sir! Stride is the complete communication solution that empowers teams to talk less and do more. It's everything you need to stay connected and keep moving. Let's hit the highlights: *Express yourself with a kickass messaging experience* The foundation of a strong communications tool today is a strong messaging tool. We've built a lightweight, powerful, messaging experience to help you and your team communicate effectively. It starts with putting your ideas into words, and our full-featured editor provides you the tools you need – text formatting, code markdown, files and links, previews, and of course message editing. But sending messages is only half of it, you have full control over what messages you are notified about so you keep track of what matters, and our powerful Search makes sure you can always find what you need. *Connect to anyone, anywhere with Meetings* The easiest way to talk face-to-face with your teammates is just a click (or tap!) away. Jump into an impromptu video meeting and add your coworkers by name, dial out, or share a link. Share your screen to show off your latest genius, or grant a teammate control of your desktop when you can't figure out how to configure your company's VPN. *Move things forward with integrated Actions and Decisions* Isolate important follow-ups by marking any message as an Action or Decision, or create one of your own to summarize a longer discussion. Rather than getting buried in your message history, Actions and Decisions live neatly in your sidebar, accessible any time — it’s like having a built in TL;DR for every conversation! *Turn down distractions with Focus Mode* Focus Mode makes it simple to step away from the action of the workday and dive into deep work. With one click, Focus Mode mutes notifications and incoming messages and lets your team know you’re heads down on that important project. Most of this is FREE for all teams – including Stride's Video Meetings. Our paid tier is just $3 / User / Month – less than your morning latte, and far less than the combined cost of what three different products might be (smile) We’re stoked to finally get to share what we’ve been working so hard on for you, our users, and this is just the beginning for Stride — expect to see a lot from us in the coming months! I’ll be sticking around to answer any questions from y’all. – Cameron PS You can sign up for our early access program here: https://www.stride.com

@cameronsavage Hi there- great to see this update. As a enterprise HC Server customer (on-prem due to healthcare regulatory requirements), what does this mean for us?
Cameron Savage
Maker
@bmehling It's true that Stride is for Cloud, tailored specifically to the cloud customer needs and priorities. But Atlassian is also doubling down on Hipchat Data Center, and we’re continuing to invest in HCDC as Atlassian’s self-hosted communication offering. You can expect to see some cool announcements from them at next week's Atlassian Summit, so tune in! https://www.atlassian.com/compan...

@cameronsavage Interesting. Okay. Our key requirement is HIPAA compliancy (signed BAA). Any plans for Stride to offer that as an option? Thx!
Cameron Savage
Maker
@bmehling Stride will not be HIPAA compliant on launch, and we don't have a product-specific timeline on it. But the good news is Atlassian tackles compliance at a company level across all of our products. You can see our current philosophy and stats on (and new updates) on https://www.atlassian.com/trust

Gotta love Atlassian's design and illustration - wow, that landing page!

@mknepprath Oh yeah, our Marketing and Design teams did a killer job!

Lovely design

@basictechy Thank you! It has been a dream to use on a day to day basis, too :)

@cameronsavage will give it a try for my new fashion startup team. Please what about integrations
Cameron Savage
Maker
@basictechy Responded to your other comment above, but copying the response here :) You'll be able to search available Stride apps in the Atlassian Marketplace (when we update the Marketplace to include Stride). All Atlassian Cloud products will integrate deeply with Stride, as well as popular 3rd party applications. We'll be continuing to build more of the apps you love, as will other contributors, so check out our blog for updates or keep an eye on the Atlassian Marketplace (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/)

Slack apps suck performance wise. expecting Atlassian to do a better job there.

Pros:

way cheaper than slack, slightly better features (to-dos , decisions)

Cons:

Yet another slack clone.

Luis Ortiz
We've been working on a bot for slack, and the features were very limited. Making the transition to Stride, we've found a lot more features that make the UX much richer and with more possibilities. I'm sure you'll like it. Check it out, while the public version is out: https://goo.gl/XAHLhF
Steve Messer
The switching cost would be too high for us, especially as we'd lose the integrations we enjoy in Slack. This looks like a good alternative for remote teams though, especially as messages can become Actions and Decisions.
Cameron Savage

@stevenjmesser There's certainly no such thing as 0 switching cost with any product, but would love to see you join us sometime :). Keep an eye on our integrations marketplace (and our API for custom-built integrations) and hopefully you'll find we cover your needs!
Andrew Richard
@stevenjmesser same here, I believe Atlassian is working on integrations. If not they can't compete with slack.

Is this a native Mac app or another chat client that's just wrapping a webview?
Alain Ekambi
@zacwest Does it really make any difference nowadays ?
Zachary West
@ekambos You can get the ease of development (e.g. using a webview for content) without sacrificing on the user experience. These webview wrappers are a very weak imitation of what could be. I worked on Adium for years, so I know how good a real native chat client can be. Adium had a lot going for it: - It was _fast_. - It had windows. You could drag tabs around. It was interactable. - Tab switching was instantaneous. - It used practically 0% CPU when idle. It didn't use much RAM. - It never messed up a drag & drop, because it didn't try and navigate. - Its keyboard shortcuts were plentiful, customizable, and it had context menus to handle discovery. Adium used webviews for message display. But you never would have known that as a user. These webpages wrapped in native chrome have all the downsides of webpages with none of the upsides of an integrated, platform experience.

Too true, @ekambos @zacwest How about we play a game – you try Stride out, and tell me which you think without doing any code spelunking ;)

Now I can forget about Skype, right? :) yeah!

@realrus Forgetting sounds mean, but you certainly won't want to use any other Video tools than Stride's!

Congrats @cameronsavage and the team! Just in time for Summit as well (which I'm super excited for - my first ever Atlassian Summit)! Cannot wait to get my hands on this to test it out - am hoping for seemless integration with other Atlassian products (mainly Service Desk + StatusPage) 😻
