If there's anyone working on an Open Source Slack (or Keybase) alternative, hit me up. I run a UI design agency and we'd love to help design a better interface for an open solution that we and others can use. Find my details in my profile, or go to http://fairpixels.pro

I think I heard that the matrix people are looking for ux/ui people to improve Riot. https://matrix.org
Do note that matrix.org is the homepage for Matrix, which is more about the protocol itself. https://riot.im is probably more relevant for design / UI / UX work.

Note that they will need UI/UX experience more and more as time goes on, especially if Purism's Librem 5 is fully funded.

yup, we are! if you’re interested in helping us (we’re the decentralised e2e encrypted open option) then would love to talk: i’m matthew at matrix.org.
There's a few. One's Mattermost: https://about.mattermost.com

My company has been using it for a while.

We'd love to contribute (with design). Are you aware of anyone interested in collaborating. We're looking for something that we can use ourselves and thus contribute to crafting a better experience around the software.
Definitely, rocket.chat. It's a proper opensource company and their mobile app could use a lot of love.
Hi @fairpx, Mattermost team here, we'd love to have your help!
