Zulip as Mailing List #24488
Comments
One other potentially interesting aspect: |
This part sounds like #19642. |
Hello @zulip/server-development members, this issue was labeled with the "area: emails" label, so you may want to check it out! |
@xeruf Can you say more about why it would be important to be able to do account (password) management and stream subscription management without opening the Zulip app? |
Because I want to include people who do not want to create yet another account anywhere or care about a password. |
Hmm, I think you can get close to that by enabling non-email authentication? Available options: Apple |
Not really, it should be possible to have an account without password and just use a magic link (which is handy in any case) like in Notion, i.e. you get the link to login/manage subscriptions per E-Mail. One other little thing: |
The proliferation of separate accounts with passwords is something that stops many digital immigrants. My grandad is just doing fine with E-Mail but incapable of creating an account somewhere himself, yet I might want to include him in a conversation in a modern tool like Zulip. |
Hey, I would still love to have this implemented and might be able to get some funding for it if this helps to get somebody dedicated to work on it. |
I do think this could be a great area for a GSoC project as well |
I would like to advance the E-Mail analogy Zulip was built from so it can function as a full-featured alternative to Mailing Lists, advancing beyond https://docs.zulip.com/help/using-zulip-via-email
I have never been a big user of mailing lists myself, but from what I saw, the following things would need work for that:
Signup:
Usability:
The goal here really is to reproduce all major features so nothing deters people from moving over from plain mailing lists or google groups (Ugh!) to Zulip :)
I am generally interested in sponsoring development here, though my funds are limited.
Maybe also interesting as a GSoC project?
