Zulip was designed from the ground up to optimize the productivity
|
||||
of discussions and real-time decision-making. Zulip's unique model
|
||||
for threading topics, together with its system for tracking unread
|
||||
messages, make it easy to have multiple simultaneous conversations
|
||||
in the same stream. As a result, Zulip is more efficient than any
|
||||
other chat product for catching up on conversations you missed while
|
||||
you were away from your devices. You can read exactly the threads
|
||||
that are important to you, and it feels natural to follow up on
|
||||
conversations that happened while you were away.

<h2>Zulip history</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Zulip was originally developed by Zulip, Inc., a small startup in
|
||||
Cambridge, Massachusetts. Zulip, Inc. was founded by the MIT team
|
||||
that previously created
|
||||
<a href="https://www.ksplice.com">Ksplice</a>, software for
|
||||
live-patching a running Linux kernel. Zulip was inspired by
|
||||
the <a href="https://barnowl.mit.edu/">Barnowl</a> client for
|
||||
the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zephyr_(protocol)">Zephyr</a>
|
||||
protocol, and the incredible community that Zephyr supported at MIT.

Zulip, Inc. was acquired by Dropbox in early 2014, while the product
|
||||
was still in private beta. Zulip's beta
|
||||
users <a href="https://www.recurse.com/blog/90-zulip-supporting-oss-at-the-recurse-center">loved
|
||||
Zulip's unique user experience</a> and continued using it, despite
|
||||
the fact that the product was not being actively developed. After a
|
||||
year and a half, Dropbox generously decided to release Zulip as open
|
||||
source software so that Zulip's users could continue enjoying the
|
||||
software.

As a result, the first time the public had the opportunity to use

Zulip was when Dropbox
|

<a href="https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2015/09/open-sourcing-zulip-a-dropbox-hack-week-project/">released
|
||||
Zulip as open source software</a> in late 2015. The open sourcing
|
||||
announcement was very popular, staying at the top of
|
||||
both <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10279961">Hacker
|

|
||||
and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3me9qp/dropbox_has_open_sourced_zulip_group_chat_software/">the

<p>
|

Zulip was open sourced with the complete version control history
|
||||
intact because 10 Zulip users visited Dropbox for a full week to
|
||||
help with the technical work. The Zulip community is incredibly
|
||||
grateful to both Dropbox and those enthusiastic early users for
|
||||
making the Zulip open source project possible.

By the end of 2015, the open source project was already going strong

with a community of dozens of developers around the world. As of

late-2016, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zephyr_(protocol)">more

than 150 people from all over the world</a> have contributed

<a href="https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pulls">almost 1000
|
||||
improvements</a> to the software, and the Zulip project is moving
|
||||
faster than when the original startup employed 11 full-time
|

engineers.
