super easy to discuss some code or paste an error message.

|
||||
link. The URL transparently shows where the discussion happened,
|
||||
and for everyone who clicks through, Zulip's topic threading
|
||||
provides a focused view on that conversation.
|

|

`#1234`, `T1234` -- or any other style of your own? Set up any

* Troubleshooting in chat for users or new developers becomes much
|

more manageable with Zulip's topic threading: each issue in a
|
||||
channel can be discussed in its own thread.
|
||||
* **Plays well with others:** With [60+ integrations](/integrations)
|
||||
including GitHub, Travis CI, JIRA, and Stripe, chances are Zulip
|
||||
already integrates with the tools you use every day; and our API
|
||||
makes it easy to add more.

## Great for productivity

* With Zulip's unique model of threading by topic, your community can
|
||||
have more than one conversation in a channel at the same time,
|
||||
without the confusion and talking-over caused by traditional models
|
||||
like IRC and Slack. (Extra handy for holding a synchronous chat
|
||||
meeting with 5-20 people and making good use of everyone's time!)
