Show IH: Built a chat for online communities (MVP looks like Slack + Intercom)

Alto is live chat for your community

For a long time, I've been looking for an online real-time chat that I could just embed on my community site. What I found was either ugly and did not offer any customization options or it required installing apps and yet another account from every member. Dealbreaker.

So I and my friend decided to build a custom app - Alto. A simple chat widget that does not require any installs or any new accounts from your users - works similar to Intercom.

It's an MVP. The core functionality is there. You can embed the chat on your own site and it'll let your users talk in real-time. And there are even few customization options.

This is how it would look like on Indie Hackers 😎

Is this something you'd use? Do you see a chance for it to become a successful product? How much do you think I should charge for it?

Thanks for your feedback!
