Experience
Mattermost
https://mattermost.com/The key thing that Mattermost has managed is setting up a robust system to delegate some of the new features' implementations to the open-source community. As a part of such a community, I've worked on different front-end-related tasks, including developing a flow to ask users to enable their browser notifications and a dedicated component to display large images inline and within the messages. Its codebase is the largest that I've ever worked with.
