  1. ✅ Closed my #HelpScout account
    ✅ Removed HS from my privacy policy

    And that means my migration to semi-self-hosted #FreeScout (EU, #PikaPods) is now done! 🎉 AMA

  2. It took a minute, but I completed my migration from #HelpScout to #FreeScout. Reasons: €€, #digitalSovereignty.

    freescout.net is open-source and nice out of the box. Custom modules cost me €68 (once!), hosting is ~€6/month (PikaPods + mailbox). Everything's hosted in the EU.

    Migration was done via API, using some custom node scripts, with some help by Claude Code. (I had talked with a migration service but they weren't able to get custom properties from HS, and so I had to DIY it.)

  3. From the ADMIN Update newsletter, Holger Reibold examines the free version of FreeScout, a powerful, flexible, and adaptable help desk environment admin-magazine.com/Archive/202 #FreeScout #HelpDesk #OpenSource #Zendesk #HelpScout #PHP #MySQL #Docker #Apache

  4. I’m getting ready to migrate GravityKit’s support platform from Help Scout to FreeScout, an open-source alternative. Is anyone interested in the process? I could write a blog post about it.
