I love to see it. Thank you for building this. This is a problem that's been solved many times over by private companies, and they charge other institutions exorbitant fees for the privilege of using their software. I hope you can get many companies to put skin in the game and contribute towards fixing bugs. It'll be cheaper for them in the long run than paying those external vendors.
For those of you complaining about the slack integration in the comments, you know you can just not connect that, right?

This would be a nice world to live in, but unfortunately this is very rarely the case as you can see with most open source projects that are used in many companies and are underfunded and understaffed. Most bigger companies value saved time of not integrating something themselves, liability and having someone else to call if something goes wrong higher than saving a few thousand bucks a year for some external vendor. Which makes total sense for something that's not your core business.
- lawrjone 2y agoDon't these people already have the option of running open-source tools like Netflix's Dispatch or Monzo's Response? If they have the open-source options why would they pay for the hosted services?
