The #1 Slack-alternative?

I'm Ruben. Small remote team, all senior dev/ops with 15+ years each. ano.chat is the chat tool we wanted and couldn't buy.

The headline feature: a real terminal inside chat. A proper PTY in the same window as channels and DMs. I switch between Claude Code and bash in there all day, with chat right next to it because that's where the context already lives.

The reframe: every "integration" is just a CLI. gh, kubectl, psql, your own scripts, whatever MCP server you wired up this morning — they already exist. ano.chat gives you a place to run them next to the conversation about why.

Not only for engineers. Devs get the terminal. Sales, ops, design get chat that doesn't suck — real threads, real search, an iOS app that handles notifications. Whole company, one workspace.

Data residency is a customer choice — EU on Hetzner Helsinki, US region available. Free tier for small teams, one-click export so leaving is never a hostage situation. Replies will all be from me, typed by me, no LLM.

Roast it.
