Future Forum releases Q4 results of remote employee experience index data

Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Environments in Courier. You can now create, preview, and troubleshoot your notifications in a test environment before going live. With support for two environments – Test and Production – you no longer have to worry about accidentally sending a notification to your users before you’re ready.

Mattermost has always been a remote-first company. Building a product that safely and securely allows our teams to communicate with each other regardless of geography or distance is the cornerstone of our philosophy on working remotely. Over the last year, the world of working online from home changed dramatically. Many people have been forced to move into a working situation they might not have been familiar with.

When people think about online communication and the opportunities for connection it provides, they quite often don’t realize the importance of virtual spaces for people with chronic health conditions, like HIV-positive African adults and adolescents living with HIV. Quite frequently, these people face social isolation, loneliness, stigma and depression. Even worse, for adolescents, aged 10 to 19 years old, HIV is the leading cause of death in Africa.

WhatsApp users were caught by surprise when they learned that some of their data would be shared with Facebook.

Over the last few years, Twitch has become the streaming platform for gaming, esports, live coding, DJ-ing, and more. If you’re a streamer, whether for work or for fun, you know that one of the biggest challenges is building your audience and attracting viewers to your Twitch channel when you go live. Unfortunately, the options for sending notifications in Twitch are pretty limited. When you go live, Twitch will automatically send your followers an email, push, or in-app notification.
