I see collaboration software primarily in the context of work in a company. Self hosting OS is something I rarely see, as focus on your own product renders such endeavours a distraction. You substitute money for speed.

I like it when there is more competition. It forces Retool, Appsmith, etc to up their game and not become complacent. One of them may have a couple of extrea feature here or there right now, but 12-18 months from now the current tech lead will become a wash and the race is on.

The big price in this space probably is the great unbundling of enterprise software, i.e. taking a bite out of Oracle, SAP. I attended a top 100 customers event at SAP once, you'd be shocked at the amount of despreration (from massive global 500 companies) to get SAP to implemented the stuff they urgently need. Apparently it takes multiple years on average...

Hi shaqbert! I agree with you. We believe in two fundamental trends. First, most software built for internal use are “low-complexity” use cases (dashboards, workflow management/automation,…) where low-code platforms are often a great choice. Second, the next generation of software needs to be built for true multiplayer use - making teams more productive, especially when not always co-located. Our ambition is to make building real-time collaborative tools fast and easy.
