Hi!
DHH (co-founder of Basecamp) announced yesterday that they’re making their group chat software open source and free for everyone to use. This is fantastic news, especially considering this piece of software previously required a $299 payment just to access the codebase (far too expensive, in my opinion).
It looks like we now have another excellent open source alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams, thanks to this move. I really hope more companies will follow this trend soon.
What are your thoughts?

I don’t see how it replaces anything without audio & video calls. Doesn’t mattermost already cover this scope…? And a lot of other open source softwares… For me, the rarest and dearest feature is these fixed call channels you have in discord. Matrix and element have them, but their ui is shit. I’m waiting for it to be implemented on Cinny, there is a PR for that.
