Sieht halt nicht sonderlich fancy aus, aber funktioniert für die Kommunikation.

We use Zulip for one project, very similar to Slack but free - could move things there from Slack when they introduced the 90days limit for saving messages. Works okay for communication and sharing files, but not for writing or code.

Reminder: you can still submit your abstract for the workshop on Survey Experiments that @bramlancee.bsky.social and I are organising @aissr.bsky.social early October. Submission deadline is 27/08/2025 ⬇️
