Mattermost

Mattermost is an open source program compatible with Markdown that allows messaging and team collaboration.

Overview

Mattermost is a messaging and team collaboration tool similar to Slack that has great Markdown support.

The application uses a slightly different version of the Markdown Marked processor.

Within the Mattermost message box, you can type content with Markdown formatting or even copy and paste an MD text from another editor.

If you miss a messaging program with extensive support for Markdown, Mattermost is a good option to fill this gap.
