Is there an 'open source Slack' type thing anywhere?

This is the closest I've found- https://mattermost.com/


If you are willing to explore a hybrid model of chat, there is Zulip: https://github.com/zulip/zulip


I'm really happy with Matrix chat. But it's more of a protocol than a sole implementation. The good people at Element are pretty neat too.


Zulip is another one, mentioned in a sibling comment. Matrix/Element is used by some companies. Nextcloud Chat exists, but I don't know much about it.


I think the Nextcloud offering is called "Nextcloud Talk", for anyone wanting to check that out.


Oh yeah, you are right... my bad :)


IRC probably. It doesn’t have every feature slack has though.


Have been having the problem of LLMs sounding too boring and corporate too.


I was one of the first users of this so know the founders quite well. Have been using it to buy all of my clothes lately.

It uses AI to create styles for you based on your preferences, and then gives you links to buy the items in that look.

Highly recommend.


We do! We have a free tier if you want to try it out. This was our launch: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36973400

Hope it helps with your Dutch :)


I've been using this for a few days and really like it. Plus 1 for macros


Thank you so much for trying it out and for the feedback! Macros are certainly high on the to-do list :)


Good point


You can use separate repos for sensitive documents instead of one big repo.

The biggest challenges will be:

- Teaching git to non-technical folks, the HR lady doesn't know how to resolve a merge conflict and probably doesn't want to

- They also don't want to learn markdown or latex

With a small enough company though, this could work.


Awesome product. We would love to use this for our app, but it wouldn't make sense economically. At $0.10 per minute it would cost significantly more than our existing TTS and SST solution. We've manually added a VAD and will have to add a way of handling interruption. All-in-all it roughly costs us $0.01 per minute and we just can't afford a 10X increase in costs.

Guessing you guys have found a use case with higher margins than ours which'll explain the price. Great work. Hope we can afford this one day.


Thanks. We get it—the current pricing doesn't fit everyone's budget. We will try to look into ways to roll out a more affordable option later.


Great. Good luck with the launch


Wow. Yes, thank you so much! I knew of HeyGen, but had no idea they'd done this with real-time avatars.


This is awesome. Any plans to add Apple Vision Pro?


Yes, this is on our roadmap for release by early March! After which we will add openXR support for the other major devices.


This is awesome - thanks for building this guys. Any plans to maintain or improve it? Guessing not if you're focused on your main business? Any plans to open source it?
