You could alternatively OAuth sign up for the chat.zulip.org server used for project development and see the feature in action there (https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/chat-zul... ) so long as you kept testing traffic to the `#test here` stream :-)

Minor niggle - but I don't understand you and the github readme point to readthedocs rather than just 'show me the money' of https://chat.zulip.org/

Perhaps you want to give more context, but I did nothing on the readthedocs page other than look for the link.

We used to do that, but it turns out that having the Internet visit your chat community without any briefing isn't the best plan. Linking to the ReadTheDocs page has helped a lot in making sure people joining the community have some sense as to what to expect (e.g. that it's at times running a super beta version of Zulip, or that people are doing actual work, that we have a code of conduct, and you should send your test messages to #test here).

Ok, that does make sense.

You don't need an app. Use it in the browser.

But you need a functioning team/community using it to see how it works.

Mobile is different. From what I hear the Slack client is better/easier to use than the Zulip client. Haven't used either of them myself.
