Raven - Simple work messaging tool
summary
Raven is an open-source Slack alternative built on Frappe with a React frontend and an Ionic PWA, supporting public/private/open channels, file previews and saved messages; editor moves from Quill to TipTap and search migrates to Redisearch. It adds an integration builder with GoRules to create no-code workflows tied to ERPNext documents, paginates messages instead of virtualization, implements optimistic updates and image compression for speed, and shows ~100 GitHub stars; deploys on Frappe Cloud/private benches or self-host.
