Request - ReactiveCocoa chat room #871
Comments
I know the site is usually only used by .NET people, but if you want a non-ancient, free chat room, https://jabbr.net is pretty decent, especially now that it added notifications |
I'm of two minds about this: 👍

I'm not even sure it needs to be officially monitored. Just an easy place for a couple people to chat about RC related topics if they want. Right now the only setting for somewhat immediate conversations is twitter. I think you guys could abstain from answering there so what's left of your time doesn't get used up. |
I very much prefer issues and Stack Overflow for questions and general discussion. Immediacy isn't worth the cost of low visibility/searchability. |
Hmm, this is tough. I really like the 👍 points that @joshaber made. What if the chat was archived and searchable on a public site (there are sites that do this IRC, if I'm not mistaken)? What if the mandate was to keep in-chat help limited to the same kind of help you could share by twitter, and anything bigger should go to GH or SO? Of course, that can't actually be controlled… Coming from the other direction, if IRC isn't the right medium, are there any other ideas that have been floated that could aid in catalyzing the community? One that I liked was RACipes, which could be a community moderated "best of" from GH issues, gists, SO, etc. |
Here's the thing: right now, there's a certain stigma associated with filing issues on a highly-visible public project. Many projects are very anti-beginner, and anti-Q&A, in their issues. I absolutely hate that mentality. I want the repo to be a place where beginners feel comfortable, and where anyone from the RAC community can come to collaborate. It should also be the useful source of information. Adding another medium would dilute these goals.
Twitter is actually a very similar problem here, and I'd love to move more of those conversations into issues, because:
|
Well, I'm sold. I particularly like:
|
To me there's two main benefits of IRC.
As an aside, I feel like SO is a lot better place for questions, namely because that's where most programmers will look first for answers to their question. I never really have seen github issues used in this manner, so I by default would filter out those entries when browsing google results. But I do see the benefit of having more of a community feel here. Seeing the same names and faces. Torn on that one. |
On the flip side, it's a hell of a good way to really learn RAC, is it not? |
I don't disagree. That's why I do a lot of that in the first place. But there's still points where it would be great to go. "From what I can tell, x. Is that correct?" Yes/No |
Shouldn't the actual resolution be stamped into memory, though? Others may have the same questions/confusion, so being able to see previous discussions is hugely valuable.
That's okay! The above applies to this too — others might have the same "obvious" question, so having it public makes it easy for others to follow along with. Nothing to be embarrassed about.
Stack Overflow is okay — better than Twitter and chat, certainly — but:
|
Fair enough on all accounts. |
@jspahrsummers I get emails with questions tagged |
@kastiglione Ah, cool. I'll replace that point with "shitty UI." |
I even had to hunt to find that link. I knew it existed, but it's buried. |
@sprynmr GitHub for Mac does realtime OS X notifications, so willing users could use that + the website for an approximation of realtime discussion. |
Interesting. I suppose the website could even do push now with Mavericks. |
RxUI created a chat room on Slack for anyone to join: reactiveui/ReactiveUI#622 It might be worth reconsidering this, since Slack supports transcripts (which was one of the problems we had with IRC). /cc @ReactiveCocoa/reactivecocoa @paulcbetts |
Hey guys - if anyone is interested, kick paul@paulbetts.org an Email with the address you want me to invite you under |
Anyone interested in joining our new chat room can also leave a comment here, and one of the RAC collaborators can invite you. We'll treat this like a trial run. If it's too obnoxious or always silent, we don't have to keep using it. |
count me in! |
YESSS. |
I'd like in! |
yes please. eric at patey.com |

Everyone so far has been invited. However, since we're still seeing relatively little activity in the chatroom, and this thread requires a lot of manual effort for me to keep up with, I'm going to lock this issue and stop inviting absolutely everyone. If you have specifically something to discuss in our chat room, please reach out to me on Twitter or via email, and I'd be happy to still provide an invitation. |
It's not valuable for most users, being primarily used for conversations between collaborators. See #871 (comment).
Would like to be able to congregate with others using and learning ReactiveCocoa. Of course I could just join/create the channel on freenode if you guys don't want to do a sort of 'official' room.
