We're pretty similar to Chatwoot in some ways - Kam described some differences here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26503697
To reiterate some of the differences, or why people might choose us at the moment:
- A lot of our users really like our Slack integration. For small teams, this means they don't even really have to use our dashboard if they don't want to, because they do everything from Slack.
- We offer a live screen sharing feature [0]
- We're working on a library to offer complete customization of the chat UI on your website [1]

Launch HN: Chatwoot (YC W21) – Open-Source Alternative to Intercom, Zendesk
Thanks for the mention:
Like Pranav said we think the space is good to have multiple players and we've had many friendly conversations where we have traded notes.
I think our vision is very similar in terms that we eventually want to focus on omni channel customer communication.
A few things that chatwoot has that we don't at the moment like they mentioned are:
1. Omni channel through messenger and Twillio integration
2. A Mobile app to chat with your customers
3. Shared inbox for teams - for team management
1. We have a Reply from Slack + Reply from Mattermost integration where you never have to leave your dashboard (We believe you should never leave your work place)
2. Highly customizable [chat widget](https://github.com/papercups-io/chat-builder) with react and flutter components
3. We have a live screen sharing feature that lets you debug issues with your customers through the browser
Our goal is to build out omni channel communications too but at the moment we want to make our chat widget experience amazing and we believe that your chat widget should look like your website and not an ad for your tool.

Linen.dev – Building a chat app with Elixir and NextJS
The best language for the task at hand, when presented with time constraints, is the one that you already know well. OP said in the article that they authored Papercups [1]. Adopting Elixir for a websocket-push service makes a lot of sense, then. However, why don't you learn Elixir, some OTP, and then reconsider that question? You could be missing out.

Ask HN: What novel tools are you using to write web sites/apps?
Phoneix - Elixir
We're a live message tool and it is basically what Elixir is built for https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups.
The Elixir community has been great and incredibly friendly. I originally was worried about the size of the community but that hasn't been an issue the community has been super helpful. I also think the annual stackoverflow usage surveys are very misleading because most of the community's questions get asked in ElixirForum and not on Stackoverflow.
Phoneix is the web framework of Elixir which is very similar to Rails but minus a lot of the magic has been very helpful for our productivity as well.
If I had to built another service that is websocket heavy I would definitely use Elixir. Even if it was a standard crud app I would still most likely choose Elixir.
