It's marketed as an "open source Slack clone". I suspect that if you don't know what Slack is, you aren't really the target market (at least for this version)
Did Apple market the iPhone as "a blackberry with a bigger screen"? No, and by not limiting themselves to an existing competitor's market, they kind of crushed them.
i beg to disagree. i'm in the market for notification, chat, etc. service for an internal application that doesn't have any cloud dependencies and we'd be most happy if it could stay this way. apparently this thing fits the bill at least in some capacity.
