Hi, congratulations on your release! Where can I find the source code to inspect?

Maybe try Mattermost if you want something similar that's open Free.

does anyone know why people do not use mattermost instead of slack&co? it seems to have everything in place, and it's free and opensource.. is it beacuse you need to deploy by yourself?

We use it along with the GitLab omnibus package so install and setup was very straightforward. It's great and has handled everything we've thrown at it; no complaints whatsoever.

Sorry, Flock isn't open source. We will open source some of our libraries in the near future though :-)

wow, that's a shame! Sorry to hear that.

It doesn't seem to be open source.
