cofounder here

going closed source does not mean we are not fighting fire with fire

we are using a handful of internal AI vulnerability scanners for months now

being open source simply reduces risk by 5x to 10x according to several security researchers we are working with https://cal.com/blog/continuous-ai-pentesting-vulnerability-...

Peer_Richon Show HN: Stack, an open-source Clerk/Firebase Auth alternative

hey cofounder of cal.com here. the plan has always been to: 1. start and go fast with a mono repo and trpc fullstack api to understand and learn the fastest. once we knew what we need, we were able to build an external facing API. we wanted to be very clear to externals that using our “trpc api” is with caution due to undocumented breaking changes. a lot of companies have an internal API + external API (built later)

Peer_Richon Ask HN: Does a framework exist for “open-source SaaS”?

hey, peer here, cofounder of cal.com. We are quite fortunate to have a growing enterprise business that is subsidising the free plan.

we will never raise prices for the free plan, free stays free, especially since it's open source which means if we were to raise, it would compete with the self-hosted product and we really dont want that

rest assured, we are comfortable providing a free product with enterprise customers
