Is Campfire a Great Alternative to Slack, Teams, or Discord?

Communicating with a team, group, or community can be tricky to manage. In this video, I’ll walk you through a newly released app by the team that brought you Basecamp—it’s called Campfire. The question is: is Campfire a better solution than something like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, or WhatsApp?

So glad you enjoyed the easy setup and simple layout of the app. You made some excellent points about troubleshooting the server.

Great general overview. I was really hoping to see the mobile version on a phone and how good the PWA app works. No one else is showing that functionality so it's probably a good video idea. Was thinking about getting this for my church, roughly 60 people total. Just a user friendly way to chat with all the members. Any chance I could hop on your server to see it in person?

I'm curious, did you try using Campfire on mobile? Curious whether it's as user friendly on a phone as it is on desktop.

Do you know how to protect a Campfire installation from a DDOS attack or put security layers on it so that a company is not attacked, for example?

I'm really sad that members of private (hidden) rooms can invite anyone they want. This makes it useless to us. 😢 I will look a bit deeper into Mattermost. Seems tough to set up, but also seems more mature.
