Show HN: I'm building Eigen, a self-hosted Google Workspace alternative
- reindernijhoff 6mo agoHi, six months ago I shared a proof of concept of Eigen: a workspace alternative where you own your data. I kept building. There are now ten apps (including a calendar, collaborative sheets, and chat), still using per-user SQLite databases, Yjs for real-time collaboration, and file-based storage. The core engine is now (hopefully) stable enough to be tested. Just to be clear: this is not a launch of a beta. I am just looking for people who want to try Eigen for a few weeks of real use so I can find bugs, fix what’s broken, and figure out what to build next. During this testing period, I also need to figure out the right structure for taking Eigen further: releasing it as open source, finding a foundation, or finding an organization to adopt it. I’m not attached to keeping ownership and I’m not looking for money. I just want Eigen to exist and to work. If you want to help test it, or if you have experience growing public-interest tech projects, I’d appreciate your input.
