The public access feature looks sweet...and I was able to use it to access demos of the upcoming redesign of the Zulip web application.

Do any alternatives offer this ability to see content without having to sign up for an account?

Slack et al are walled gardens because none of their content is publicly available...forums are the opposite, but they lack the real-time dynamic of chat.

This public access feature from Zulip seems like it might bridge the gap nicely.
