Another cashflow idea, as if you don't think of many yourself: A white-label version of Element (called something else) that can be deployed as scoped to an organization and based on an LTS release schedule. We'd gladly pay for this.




That is Element’s current business model: https://element.io/en/pro-app and https://element.io/server-suite/pro.

Looks excellent, sharp website - and I'll admit I hadn't looked for the white label app before talking shit. That offering looks excellent - I see an opportunity for a white label tier between community and enterprise for small/medium orgs with pricing listed on the website.

Well, I can't check if it is still a thing today, but Element's managed servers used to allow you to do that, at least for the web app (though I had the idea they also did that for the old mobile apps?)

Here's a couple of links:

They've been on their game with this product, which hadn't been on my radar until Aaron's response above.
