Replace custom chat with existing solution
From the wrap-up thread. Consider something to replace our homegrown solution. Strict requirements:
- Embed in the blackboard
- Its own mobile app (Android and iOS)
- Works for team members who don't want to create an account/link one with their identity
- API for blackboard to e.g. create channel with puzzle is created
- Hubot adaptor or API supports realtime so we can write our own
- Preserves history
There are other nice-to-haves, like pinning messages (which would close #281), but I think these are the drop-deads. If we can't find something that satisfies these, close as infeasible.
Options to consider:
- Slack
- Flock
- Rocket.chat
- Mattermost
- Discord (some other teams said in https://www.reddit.com/r/mysteryhunt/comments/7s3jhe/how_does_your_team_coordinate_and_keep_track_of/ that they use it)
(More can be added.)
