I have tried Zulip but I think Twist has better UX & UI.

Consumerization of Enterprise is real - people don't want work to feel like work. Even Slack is more of a social tool than a work tool [1]. So, I think that the key to building a great work-focused tool is to start on non-work use cases - such as social groups.
Looking at Twist - I don't think it emphasizes usability, users in multiple workspaces, quality notifications, easy onboarding, and group discoverability. Take a look at the nav - it's built for hundreds of people, but groups will start with far fewer than that, and churn before they grow. Plus, it's entirely a logged-in experience - how many beloved forums are logged-in-only?
Twist is a good tool for certain uses - but I'm going for something more generalizeable.

I've been thinking about this as I build a slack-meets-twitter like chat platform for public discourse (https://sqwok.im) and have had a few ppl ask if they could use it for a work communication tool.
It isn't my primary vision but it is something I've been thinking about and def open to hearing if other people would be interested in that.
I'll have to check out twist, had never heard of it!
Please suggest more solutions.
We can always use more choices.
I am just mentioning what works for me (for now).
