You can go to app.twenty.com ; twenty.com is our marketing website for a general audience so the form there is useless for now (we'll launch soon but our current focus on Github / developer community only)

It isn't easily extensible (we wanted to be able to add images with drag-n-drop). From the moment you need to extend, it felt like it was faster to rebuild things directly with TipTap

There is a ton of great feedback from users in this thread that will help us build a better product, that's enough to justify this launch in my opinion :) Noted for integrations as a top-priority!

Thanks for the feedback! Especially on sales not necessarily being modelled as a pipeline, that's something we need to think of more. Integrations will come this year.

Agree! Linear is a good example of a company picking up steam with a design/quality-first approach when the market leader Jira suffers from feature bloat. Hope we can make a similar comparaison one day!

Thanks Maxime! Had to Google SLC, for those who are reading it's "Simple, Lovable and Complete" — and exactly where we'd like to get soon yes :-)

SugarCRM has been sold to a PE fund and close the source years ago. There is a project called SuiteCRM that took over the source code, and they did a great job considering it's a small organization, but it didn't evolve the way it

I like the "crm.json" image. We definitely want to work on doing something modular like this. I also wanted to price differently than by seat initially. Because CRMs tends to be the source of truth for the whole organizations, and

We'll focus on providing a cloud hosted version, because not everyone knows how to or want to self-host. We don't really think in terms of runway yet as the company has just been setup. YC gave us 500k which we haven't spent

Haha, it's the usual market price for a nice one-word .com ; I don't see this as money thrown away like spending in ads for example, it's closer to a real estate investment in my opinion

Your question is right on spot. We are three founders with a passion for design (1 designer + 2 ex-Airbnb were design was key to the culture), building this product 2 decades after Salesforce when the tech is different, so we will approach

Thanks! One of the reasons there hasn't been that many good alternatives is indeed that the product surface is very big. We asked ourselves before launching here if it was too early but the reality is that there will always be more fea

It led to some fun conversations but most people just ignore the WhatsApp link. Definitely not something we're going to keep long-term. The initial goal was to be able to engage with a few users that were willing to, to do real custome

What type of phone integration would you need? Do you use an external provider like Aircall? If you don't, I know Close.com has a built-in phone functionality so maybe their solution could fit your need? We definitely need to work on i

I'm really eager to get to the point where we can work on CRM extensibility and developer experience. We're hoping to bring traditional web development workflows and not re-invent anything. We opted for a multi-tenant infrastruct

I thought building on TipTap would take too much time but I was wrong. I've looked into TipTap extensions and it seems that in less than a week you can build a very decent Notion-like editor. So we will be rebuilding everything with Ti

Thanks! We plan to add custom fields in August. Super interesting feedback. There's indeed a balance to strike between: - easy to configure by everyone which ends up in a mess - full config-as-code and developers become a bottleneck H

100% agree. And we are not there yet. But I feel like open source is the best answer to 1 (building an ecosystem of integrations), and that it will also allow us to build a better platform for developers (2): why learn Aura components/

It cost us ~$100k from a broker. I've always loved nice domain names and I had some cash because I sold my previous company to Airbnb so I was happy to spend it!

Yes that's something we've considered. Veeva and nCino are two examples of billion-dollar companies built on top of Salesforce and verticalized in one industry, so there is a need for what you describe. If we want to go this path

Not trying to hide our competition but honestly, we came to build this because I didn't find any. The leader 15 years ago was SugarCRM but sadly they ended up getting bought by a PE fund and closing the source. There is a project calle

Yes that's exactly what we've seen! A lot of companies we've talked with don't have a datawarehouse / reverse-ETL, so they use the CRM for that instead,and the integrations are core the CRM value prop. That's w
