Team chat

Get work done together, in team chats. Add a support chat, for quick questions.


Talkyard's chat is fairly basic. Slack, and others like Mattermost, Zulip and RocketChat, are better. You can use them for chatting, and disable Talkyard's chat, and use Talkyard for Q&A / ideation / and structured discussions that are good to remember long term.

Blog comments

No need to sign up twice — user accounts in the forum, work at the blog too.

Other software — like StackOverflow, Reddit, HackerNews — require you to re-read the whole discussion from top to bottom, to find any new replies.
