Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Ioan, founder of Zioan, and I'm excited to finally share what I've been building for the past 2 years. 🎯 Why I Built This My team was paying €15,000/year for Slack, Notion, and Monday. Constant context switching. Data scattered across multiple vendors. Monthly fees that kept increasing. So I built what I wanted: one unified platform I could self-host and actually own. ✨ What is Zioan? A complete workspace platform that replaces: - **Slack** → Real-time chat with channels and DMs - **Notion** → Document collaboration with version control - **Monday.com** → Kanban boards with time tracking - **GitHub Gists** → Code snippet manager - Plus: File management, calendar, team permissions, and more 16 modules. One database. One platform. 🔐 Three Key Differentiators **1. Self-Hosted** Runs on your infrastructure. Your data never touches our servers. Complete control, zero vendor access. **2. Perpetual Licensing** One-time payment, own forever. Optional annual maintenance for updates (20% of license). Don't renew? Keep using your last version indefinitely. **3. True Integration** One database, one search, one permission system. Not separate tools duct-taped together—everything shares the same foundation. 🤝 Guest Collaboration (Game Changer) Invite external collaborators (clients, contractors, partners) with granular permissions: - Access specific projects/documents only - No login required for guests (passwordless access) - Guest limits: 10-unlimited depending on license tier - Perfect for client work without giving full team access This turns external collaboration into a client acquisition tool—guests experience your workspace and often become customers. ⚡ Installation: Ridiculously Simple Self-hosting doesn't mean complexity. One command installs everything. The interactive installer handles: - Fresh installation, updates, backups, and rollbacks - Docker container orchestration - Database setup and migrations - Everything in 2 minutes (seriously) No DevOps expertise needed. If you can SSH into a server and follow simple instructions, you can deploy Zioan. 💰 Pricing **Year 1: Perpetual License (one-time)** - 5 users: €999 (+ 10 guests) - 20 users: €2,999 (+ 20 guests) - 50 users: €5,999 (+ 50 guests) - Unlimited users: €12,999 (+ unlimited guests) Includes: Perpetual license, current version, 12 months updates, 12 months email support, lifetime community forum access. **Year 2+: Optional Maintenance (20% of license)** - 5 users: €199/year - 20 users: €599/year - 50 users: €1,199/year - Unlimited users: €2,599/year Maintenance includes: All updates, new features, security patches, priority support, feature request consideration. **Don't renew?** Keep using your last version forever. All features continue working. Renew anytime to catch up. 30-day free trial. No credit card required. 🛠️ Tech Stack - Django + React - Phoenix/Elixir (Real-time WebSocket) - PostgreSQL + Redis - Docker (single container deployment) - ~200,000 lines of code - 3 complete rebuilds over 2 years 🚀 Try It Now - **Live Demo** (one-click passwordless guest signup): https://demo.zioan.com - **30-day free trial**: https://zioan.com - **Full installation guide**: Included with license Built for teams who value data sovereignty, cost predictability, and software ownership.
