@IamJoshJackson Thanks man!
Right now it replicates the barebones and functionality. But I’d love if you have specific features that you would love to see I am happy to push it as an update right away
I built a fully functional Slack alternative using Claude Code - and just open sourced it.
It's called Hive. A self-hosted team communication platform with real-time messaging, workspaces, channels, direct messages, threaded replies, emoji reactions, file sharing, and more.
The stack: React 18 + Vite, Express + https://t.co/RcDyrQ33Q6, PostgreSQL, JWT + Google OAuth (Passport.js)
This isn't a toy demo. It's a production-grade codebase with proper auth, real-time WebSocket events with authorization, input validation, security headers, and rate limiting on every endpoint.
I'm now looking for contributors to take it further:
🌙 Dark mode
🔔 Push notifications
🧪 Test coverage
🐳 Docker setup
🌍 Internationalization
📱 Mobile improvements
♿ Accessibility
Whether you're a seasoned open source contributor or looking for your first PR, there are issues labeled "good first issue" ready for you.
If you're tired of paying $7-12 per user per month for Slack or Teams, this maybe your way out. Self-host it, own your data, and stop watching that bill grow every time you hire someone.
Check it out: https://t.co/SXrVRkqlr3
Star it if you find it interesting. Fork it if you want to build on it. And if you ship a feature, I'll personally review and merge your PR.

@AhmedZRashad Dark side is where the real work happens 😏 while everyone’s still sourcing on LinkedIn and praying, we’re training models that actually understand talent.
