Radicle is really underrated, especially when working with agents. I find it a joy to use for my agentic workflows.

If there's purely an agentic forge one day, it's likely going to be a distributed one, with cryptographic identities and signed artifacts by default.

AD: Feel free to post on our Zulip [^1] about your experiences of agentic workflow if you haven't already! Some of the team are interested in developing the agentic workflow experience.

I am surprised you don't use RustChat[1]

Doesn't even come close to Zulip in terms of features.

Zulip used to have a really neat feature where you could open up certain channels to be indexable by search engines. Basically turning it into an open forum. The feature is still sorta around but completely broken. Quite unfortunate imo. It was a really neat solution to the walled garden problem with team chats

Zulip product lead here -- I'm not aware of anything in this space that used to work and no longer does.

There's long been a way to make Zulip channels searchable with zulip-archive (https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive), and that continues to be available.

Making the app-native web-public channels accessible to search engines is a big technical project, tracked as https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/21881.

Ah thanks for the correction. For some reason I mixed up Zulip with Linen.dev

I guess this feature has been requested for Zulip for a long time

How does it compare to MatterMost [1]?

It doesn't have these pesky message and user limits, unlike Mattermost[1].

Gotcha! Though that is not for the self-hosted version IIUC?

But yea, rust-chat in a way seems like more of a proper open source project ...

For self-hosted version as well, unless you patch it.

What makes it a joy to use with agents?

Probably less issues with account management and rate limits.
