How do you handle the challenge of getting self-hosted customers to upgrade? I'm guessing a lot of self-hosted instances end up running fairly customized versions of your product.

Disclaimer: I'm the founder of Bonx (bonx.com). Genuinely curious — congrats on what you've built, and best of luck!

most run on BYOC or managed hosting. but for the forks you can tell claude "merge upstream and fix the merge conflicts"

I understand the need to make money, but hardly any open source software is free anymore even if you host it yourself. And this one doesn’t list the price which feels kinda cagey (get a license links to book a sales call).

It’s nice that it’s open source, thank you. I just wish that Mattermost et al didn’t open Pandora’s box with this one.

you can run the community edition for free. there's enough in there to run a full manufacturing business.

Should we just name this layout/theme "claude" from now on?

founder here. extremely accurate comment. we had a customer send us this website recently. they said "we think you need a better website, we made this with claude"

lol, wow. What else did they say?

barbinbrad 3 hours ago | parent [-]

they're awesome. we highly value their opinion. they were the ones who gave me the confidence to open source it

https://minimal.tech -- they build the whole stack from PCB to hardware to wiring to mechanical assembly to telematics software themselves
