Building the Future of Chat, From the Ground Up

Computer programmers chatting

The world of communication software is full of familiar faces. But let’s be honest, chat hasn’t fundamentally changed in decades. Remember AOL Instant Messenger*? After talking with hundreds of users many of them say the same thing – we want more than a re-skinned platform from 30 years ago.

Here at DevHuddle, we believe chat deserves an upgrade. That’s why we made the bold decision to build our chat solution entirely from scratch. While “off-the-shelf” solutions might seem tempting, we saw an opportunity to craft a truly innovative chat experience that empowers developers.

Building Blocks for a Better Future

Owning the architecture of our platform, from the ground up, gives us the freedom to completely rethink how chat works. This means more than just a fresh coat of paint. We’re building a platform designed to unlock entirely new workflows and productivity gains for developers.

Here are just a few ways DevHuddle will revolutionize chat:

  • Unleashing Innovation: By building from scratch, we’re not limited by legacy systems. This lets us integrate cutting-edge features and functionality that traditional platforms simply can’t offer.
  • New User Experiences: With other general-purpose chat platforms, there is little that can be done by plugins to offer a unique end-user experience.
  • A Focus on Developer Needs: We understand the unique challenges developers face. DevHuddle is being built with those needs in mind, offering features and integrations that streamline workflows and boost developer productivity.
  • Quality of Life Enhancements: Chat shouldn’t be a chore. DevHuddle will introduce features to make communication smoother, faster, and more enjoyable for everyone on your team.

More Than Just Chat

DevHuddle is more than just a chat platform. It’s a comprehensive suite of tools designed to empower development teams. Building from scratch allows us to seamlessly integrate these tools with the chat experience, creating a unified environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.

We’re excited to share DevHuddle with the world and see how it transforms the way developers communicate and collaborate. Stay tuned for more updates on the exciting features we’re building, and get ready to experience the future of chat!
