   Pretty stoked for this. I started learning Elixir a few months ago [0] and it's been a great balance of fun + practical. Way easier to get up and running compared some other FP languages I've dabbled with in the past :P Also shame

   We launched Papercups back in August [0], and wanted to share some of the metrics and learnings from the experience, along with expressing our appreciation for the HN community's support! Also included some updates on what we've b

   I started building our product about 2 months ago, and basically learned Elixir as we went. It's been great fun, and a wonderful way to learn a language quickly! I'd love to see greater adoption of Elixir :)

    Hi everybody! Last week we launched on HN ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24133719 ) and got a lot of great feedback from the community :) (here’s our main repo: https://github.com/papercups-io/pap

    If RN support is something you're actively looking for, I'd love to learn more about your use case if you want to email me at alex (at) papercups.io :)

    We'd love to get this working as soon as we can! Do you personally have a use case for this? I'd love to learn more if you want to email me at alex (at) papercups.io

    We would have to make some slight tweaks to get our chat component working in React Native, but we definitely want to support it! I'd love to learn more about your (or anybody else's) use case if you want to email me at alex (at)

    Thanks for the reply! This is super helpful :) The defmacro article was a great read, definitely some great points in there. We're starting to realize how important having a good filter is -- a ton of people have opinions on what we&#x

    We definitely want to make our chat widget as unobtrusive and customizable as possible, so that our users can choose exactly where it shows up... I can sympathize with how annoying it is when these chat bubbles get "aggressive" e.

    Sounds like a good problem, if we're one of the few shops offering Elixir jobs :P

    This is a really interesting idea! Never thought of doing something like that, but if enough people want it, we'd probably be happy to build it :P

    Makes sense! Would love to learn more about how you're using Intercom if you're ever down to chat :) (Feel free to email me at alex@papercups.io if you're interested!)

    Have you looked at PostHog? https://github.com/posthog/posthog Seems very similar to what you're describing :)

    Intercom also does a lot of things on top of chat like email campaigns, FAQs ("articles"), chat bots, and is somewhat evolving into a bit of a CRM. Chatwoot focuses on chat as far as I can tell (and so do we at the moment!), so it

    Great feedback, we're definitely planning on taking that advice :)

    To add on a bit -- it ~seems like chatwoot is just focusing on chat (which is exactly what we're starting with), but we do plan on expanding to other products beyond chat :) (chatwoot may be doing that as well, but just wanted to menti

    Interesting! I'm honestly pretty unfamiliar with C#, but I'd love to check it out and I'll definitely look into SignalR :) I think one thing that's been really nice about Elixir is how helpful the community has been, and

    This is great feedback, and definitely something we'll need to think about. I had a similar issue at a previous startup I worked at, where we were basically building SaaS tools for logistics departments at commodity trading companies,

    We'll definitely check it out! And yeah, one of the top complaints we heard from people when doing user research was how expensive Intercom is, so definitely going to try to ride that wave as much as possible like you said :P

    Integrating with Dialogflow is definitely on our roadmap! We were thinking of starting off with a relatively simple bot that uses your FAQ to automatically answer common questions that come in, as long as the NLP model has a confidence scor
