Original Summary

I've started a small interview series with indie makers (so disclosure before you read on: this links to my website). The first interview is with Igor, who spent about 6 months building HansaChat on his own. It's a team chat app hosted in Germany. A few highlights: Per-seat pricing is a bigger pain than it looks. His example was a taxi company with 1,000 drivers. At €20 a head that's a big monthly bill, even though most of the drivers aren't working on any given day. The same goes for delivery companies, cleaning companies, anyone with lots of part-time staff. So he charges one flat price per workspace. SSO behind the enterprise plan annoyed him. On most tools you need a plan that costs about 2.5x more to get single sign-on. He put it on the free plan instead. He built it with AI agents, but did the design himself. He planned the architecture and every database field by hand and wrote it all into one core-concept doc. Then he had coding agents write the backend, frontend, tests and deployment. That's a more structured setup than most "built it with AI" stories I've heard. Distribution is harder than building. His line was "Building it was the easy half; getting noticed is the actual work." That seems to come up in almost every conversation I have with solo founders.

中文标题： 与一位用按工作区固定定价构建Slack替代品的独立创始人交流后的要点

作者访谈独立开发者Igor，他花约6个月独自构建德国托管的团队聊天应用HansaChat。要点：按人头定价对拥有大量兼职员工的公司负担大，因此按工作区收固定费用；他把SSO放在免费计划而非企业计划；他用AI代理写后端、前端、测试和部署，但架构与数据库字段自己设计；他认为分发比构建更难，让人注意到产品才是真正的工作。
