Hello HN! There’s a lot of focus (and money) on scaling LLMs, but while building Twenty [1] we’ve observed that current models are already capable enough for most use-cases. We thi…

I'm not a fan of Elon-style "pitch FSD or promise things that you don't have" either. But we had to find the right balance between expressing our vision and expressing where we are…

That's my main frustration every day too. The vision for what we're building is very clear but it takes time to build it right. We'll get there :).

Hey, just seeing this thread now. Agreed! We've started a year ago and have done probably just 10% of what is needed to really get to Salesforce. We need (1) a flexible data model,…

Oh nice that you saw this (even though the post was flagged only a couple minutes after launch, not sure why). Thanks for your reply! We have a model with 1-schema per tenant + we …

I'm looking for a frontend library that would take a database schema as input, and then provide a visual query builder like Metabase that supports filtering and aggregation. The ou…

The shift to commercial open source with a hybrid financing model is what's driving the trend. It makes it possible to get enough funding to build high-quality software while bring…

Yes the design is heavily inspired by Notion but the backend and the features are those of a CRM. We’ll have email integration soon!

Yes that’s why we created this. For my previous company I couldn’t find anything I liked. I wanted something built with modern technologies and by people who care about design. The…

It’s already a good CRM for basic tasks like tracking contacts and opportunities. It’s stable and mostly bug-free. Next month we will ship custom objects and the API, then email in…

Yes I agree, we might have to pick our battles and follow the industry norm on this one.

Thanks for clarifying for others! I didn't expect this to show on HN today but we're definitely taking the feedback and going to change that page soon

I like that you signed up just to comment on this. It probably means we're doing something that matters even if you think we don't do it well :) We'll work on a real demo environme…

We want our design to match exactly Figma. Shadcn could have been an option because their approach is to have users copy/paste the code, so it could have worked. But copying styles…

Sorry if it isn't clear. Self-hosting is 100% free and without any limitation. As for the cloud version, I replied here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37808121 TLDR is that …

Yes that's only for the hosted version. Self-hosting is indeed 100% free and not limited. We definitely need to work on that page!

No shadcn is great but we rebuilt every component from scratch. And we use styled components, not tailwind. Storybook here: https://storybook.twenty.com When it's mature enough we'…

Since VSCode is the most popular editor, it sets a pre-configured environment for people who want to contribute. For exemple it suggests extensions we recommend using.

Odoo is an open source ERP so they're doing a lot more than CRM. They also want to replace Docusign, Shopify, Workday, Notion, Intercom, Google Sheets, and more. We will focus on a…

Thanks pretext for posting this! We didn't expect to be featured today :) We're currently rewriting the backend and will ship a new version on October 30 that will be much more pow…

Tbh we haven't been focused on monetization at all. We've just put a high number to avoid disappointing people afterwards by raising pricing (I hate when company advertise somethin…

I don't get some of the negative comments. We run an open source project with a very long backlog and I came across Gitstart as I was looking for ways to accelerate development. We…

Thanks for the kind words! It's a very long journey ahead of us, that's for sure!
