Campfire (the self-hosted group chat) just became free and open source! - Lemmy.World
Hi! DHH (co-founder of Basecamp) announced
[https://x.com/dhh/status/1963675999012552970] 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 [https://openalternative.co/campfire], thanks to this
move. I really hope more companies will follow this trend soon. What are your
thoughts?
UPDATE: I’ve added advanced search filters directly on the listing, so you can now filter self-hosted tools by their alternative, category, tech stack used and licence they’re released on 🔥
You should check it for sure! I actually use it to deploy some of the services I need for running OpenAlternative.
I use NextJS for both front and backend. I’m open for any contributions if you’re interested.
Added just that! Thank you for the suggestion.
We’ve talked with Ethan (owner of selfh.st) and shared some insights, but I’d definitely be open to collaboration. I don’t think merging both sites is possible since we’re focusing on different topics, but maybe we can figure something out.
Should be fixed now. DB was down due to high traffic.
Added categories now so you can filter directly in the list.
Added longer description and major alternative when you hover over the cards. Hope that’ll make it easier to browse.
