Hi!
DHH (co-founder of Basecamp) announced yesterday that they’re making their group chat software open source (MIT licensed) 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?
