    I didn't know about it :D

    What is it? An alternative to discourse? Maybe GitHub is thinking of integrating forums for the open source projects?

      I was thinking the same, lots of people have gitter.im communities for their projects but I guess this cuts out the middleman.

        GitHub used to have private messaging between users but it removed it because of the usual reasons. Maybe a zero effort forum tab where users can discuss trivia, features and issues, all out in the open, before actually opening pull requests or asking for bug fixes could be nice.

    GitHub is proprietary, so I guess that they'll integrate Spectrum with GitHub - thus making it proprietary/dependend on non-free software as well.

    This definitely mirrors Gitter/GitLab a bit but Spectrum is definitely an evolution on Gitter imo (though less popular that Gitter was when bought)

    This should be a big boon to Spectrum’s popularity and probably help pull projects off Slack.
