You're exactly right. We aren't trying to replace the massive "Slack as an OS" setups that Enterprise Grid customers have built.

We are targeting teams (5-50 people) that need robust, persistent chat but are hitting that "pay-wall or lose-history" cliff with Slack. The goal is to give those teams a professional-grade experience (unlimited search, speed, reliability) without the enterprise tax or complexity

i have a side gig with 3 other people, we use slack chat for daily coms and webhooks. we meet weekly over discord becuase huddles are a paid feature, are you planning on implemening voip?

after 4 years we're almost at the point where i feel its worth spending $ for different types of convinient features.

How are you doing search?

Can you discuss the tech stack choices? (ie. OpenSearch, something else?)
