Comment on Show HN: Let's Chat, a self-hosted chat app for small teamsparent

There is also Kandan App. https://github.com/kandanapp/kandan

Is Kandan still actively developed? Doesn't seem like there's been anything new for a couple of years.

Yep, we still are! I recently got added to the ownership team for Kandan (https://github.com/orgs/kandanapp/people) and I've been trying to respond to every issue / pull request that's been submitted. If there's a feature you are missing, let me know. Our last commit was 22 days ago, and we've added a ton of bug fixes, optimizations, security fixes, and overall tweaks in the past few years. Check us out!

Recently, the thing I've been focusing on lately with the app is bug fixes, small tweaks, and upgrading Rails. There's a lot of feature requests on the backburner, but I want the app to be extremely stable before going a mile wide and an inch deep.

That being said, "Let's Chat" looks like it is a great approach and I look forward to the progress that comes on it. The more open source solutions, the better.

eggbrain,

I really like Kanban and I am sad to see it isn't up to rails 4.2 yet. Are you looking for more contributors?

If so, how could I contact you to resolve a few questions so I can get the current repo up and running to work on?

Yes, more people contributing to Kandan would be awesome! My email is in my profile, feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you get setup (anyone else reading this message, feel free to do the same as well if you have trouble not getting Kandan working).

It may not be as actively developed as something like Node, but people are still submitting PRs and the original author is still making updates.
