This is a month’s work with AI nowadays 😭😭
Raven is open-source as well, and has almost all the features that Slack does + MCP support. Calling and Slack compatible APIs coming soon.
If someone is interested in moving away from Slack but still needs product/hosting support - do try it out here: frappe.io/product/raven
Want your own Slack for $0? I open-sourced Ember. It deploys to @Cloudflare’s free tier in about a minute, works with Slack-compatible payloads, and includes an AI assistant and media attachments.

Getting so sick of:
"I got tired of [app] so I 'killed it' and created [shitty AI clone]"
No. You wasted > $200 in tokens creating slop hoping to make gains from copying the hard work of others.
Creating software is cheap. Maintaining it is not. Maintaining quality is everything.
So many devs and designers are scared right now about the value of their skills. If you ask me the value of being a good designer or engineer has never been higher.
Quality is what sets you apart.

There is still no substitute for caring. Every piece of software getting rapidly better is happening because a human cares. And happens to be using AI to move really fast.
Restaurants are also extremely low margin businesses with terrible pay for their employees.
- Restaurants have no moat.
- Anyone can vibecook their own meal.
- You can build your own burger at home at a fraction of the cost it takes you to get it from a restaurant.
- If a restaurant builds a really good recipe, copycats will instantly reverse taste it and steal it.
Restaurants are dead.

Company culture is really just the extension of the founder's personality and maybe some of the top execs.

You truly do not understand a metric until you've looked at it every. single. day. for six weeks. (Every time I've thought otherwise, I've been wrong.)

Checkout what can be done with ERPNext + Frappe Framework + Flow + Studio + Opus in one prompt.

Obsession + pattern recognition + not giving a f*ck + delusional optimism is the highest form of intelligence.
This is why you choose open source. Your data is yours, and there’s no need to pay per user.

I remember meeting Vinay at IndiaFOSS a few years ago. We had just released Raven and wanted @zerodha to use it instead of Mattermost.
Obviously Raven wasn’t upto the mark then, and Vinay spent an hour telling us about how we should optimize our app for the “hot-path”.
In 2012, before we had a tech team, our second tech vendor was KuVi, a services company Vinay Kumar C started right after college.
Vinay was introduced to us by Renuka, who's now an AVP on our support team. She said she had a friend who could take care of all our tech needs, from hosting our website to building our first CRM and pretty much everything else.
We said yes, partly because they were charging us just ₹15,000 a month. We were also among their very first customers😄
But as we started growing, unfortunately, KuVi didn't. In 2016, Vinay shut it down and joined us, along with a few of his team members, including Sharath and Rocco.
I keep talking about Vinay to everyone at @zerodha. I've always felt he's probably one of the most level-headed people in the business. Not just because of everything he's done for Zerodha, but more importantly, because of how he handled the difficult decision to shut down something he had built.
I think how people deal with things when they don't go as planned says a lot about who they are.🙂

He even told us about how Zerodha optimises little things like the size of the logo on their platform to improve loading speed. That conversation has stuck with me and now I think about performance all the time 🙈
