  7. <p>Yeah, very imaginative title… But well, here is why gitter just sucks compared to all chat things I saw:</p>
  8. <ul>
  9. <li>You have to sign in, but you can see the lobby or whatever without being logged on via the JS thing</li>

  11. <li>You can <em>only</em> sign in with Github or Twitter</li>
  12. <li>Triple-Facepalm for the <a href="https://gitter.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200876472-Privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a> and probably the rest of the <a href="https://gitter.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/200274872-Legal-documentation">Legal Documents</a> (hosted on Zendesk™ because hosting text is hard…)</li>
