Gitter is a messaging and community tool built for open source collaborative projects on GitHub, enabling worldwide programmers to seek assistance and improve software. The platform also supports private team communication. It was created in January 2013 by Mike Bartlett, former director of product management at Skype, and Andrew Newdigate, a software engineer, and is based in London, UK. Gitter reports 200,000 registered users across 30,000 public chat communities, with its largest community being Free Code Camp, which has over 20,000 participants. The company recently raised seed funding and intends to use the proceeds to expand headcount and pursue growth in other markets.
