FreeScout — Free Self-Hosted HelpScout Alternative
FreeScout is a free open source help desk and shared inbox written in PHP7 (Laravel 5.5 framework), full analog of HelpScout. As you may know, Help Scout on November 29, 2018 will force all free accounts to upgrade to the paid plan, so developing a free open source alternative is kind of urgent.
FreeScout is being developed from scratch and is not using any copyrighted Help Scout materials to comply with GitHub's DMCA Policy (trademark, logos, icons, CSS, JS, HTML files are copyrighted; idea, look and feel can not be copyrighted). FreeScout is currently under active development. If you would like to join efforts, just fork this repo and follow instructions.
