Glad to see a fellow Indian startup taking this route (I was surprised to see it licensed as MIT tbh)
We are a successful Mumbai based startup who are in the process of integrating Chatwoot (beta release just went out today), it will replace Haptik.ai for which we had already paid in advance for a year but don't want to use it anymore just after 1 month.
Chatwoot isn't a piece of cake to set it up but definitely peanuts compared to the money some companies pay to other customer support solutions.
Moreover, we are in the process of hiring and dedicating a small team who will contribute changes to Chatwoot and raise PRs upstream.
Good luck to you guys, hope to connect with y'all on discord in coming weeks.
I got promoted to tech lead for writing good code and now I have subordinates who wrote shitty code which I have to review. So I don't get to write code myself.
It is shiny from outside but has many issues that are embarrassing and can only be discovered once you have used it. (I guess looking at the open list of issues will also give you a hint).
Their UI and interface isn't that bad but their APIs are VERY BASIC.
For example, there is no way to retrieve metadata about an Airtable base (sheetnames, columns etc). Or, there is no way to tell whether a link between sheets is a singular link or list of links. No way to connect different bases together.
Many of feature requests that were opened 3-4 years back still have no closure despite popular demand.
In my opinion Airtable is alright for basic usage (like yours). But nothing advance.
I know all this because I created an open-source library to dynamically create postgres database from multiple Airtable bases. (In case anyone is interested)
We have PII, analytics, catalog, transaction etc databases. We only let people clone non-sensitive databases. Others are cloned only at schema level and data is left out.
This also allows us to move and scale independently across different applications. But that's just a symptom of this design.
There are some complications with this approach but it's a trade off and we try to come on top using foreign-data-wrapper approach and using a database application router for read and writes. We have open sourced a Django db router which routes queries on the basis of tags/app name/table name etc
It happens anyway. Humans are more flexible and adjusting than software I guess.
For example: where I am from, people use Hindi language to communicate but write Hindi using Latin alphabets rather than native Hindi alphabets, especially when typing on mobile phones. This is a result of Hindi letters being inherently complex in writing and lack of proper software ecosystem available (keyboard autocomplete, swiping etc)
Bio: Tech lead for a truly multinational project. I work at a slower but steady pace. I'm a good mentor but not a good manager.
ESOPs opportunity preferred.
I believe I had interviewed once at careers360 a couple of years back, don't think it was mentioned to me then that you guys work majorly on Django otherwise I think I would have had a better chance at clearing it lol...
But yeah Django is awesome, It has paid my bills for years. Hopefully async will come in relatively soon with Andrew Godwin's focus on it.
> I wrote the thing in django but it doesn't look like django is compatible with amp.
This doesn't make sense at all. Even if I hadn't previously built a site on django before which served AMP pages, I would be willing to bet that no pure backend web framework limits what your frontend can achieve.
.
Also, Things are always harder for amateurs, just keep working hard man.
It is in a way a good thing that a mature library like jQuery isn't released too frequently because all the websites that use it works just a little bit snappier because jQuery is usually already available in cache in the browser from some other source and if not, then the nearest CDN probably has it.
I switched from Macbook Pro 2013 to ~$1,000 Xiaomi Mi notebook pro (i7, 16GB, Dedicated GX card, better battery, HDMI port, 15inch, Mac like keyboard and touchpad, fingerprint reader). I run a right-swipe virtual machine and run chrome all day without issues. It's a good for 3 years machine. Screen is fullhd though.
