Personally, it's sad news for me and many other founders Om helped.

Back in 2008, my company, TringMe, was making news with browser-based telephony. We had been covered by TechCrunch, but never by GigaOM. So I decided to email Om directly and ask, half-jokingly, "Are we not worth your time?" I also asked if he had any advice.

He apologized, explained that health issues had limited his writing, assured me it was never personal, and then offered a simple piece of advice: "Bring me fresh and exclusive information."

We took that advice seriously. Our next launches, VoicePHP and the first Mobile VoIP app for BlackBerry, were both covered by GigaOM.

What I remember is not the coverage, but the kindness in his reply. He did not have to respond to a founder he barely knew, let alone with honesty, encouragement, and actionable advice. We stayed in touch after that.

Thank you, Om. Rest in peace.

not official, but it's highly likely they're building an internal tool to avoid such incident and handing over to third-party platforms like Slack. You may want to refer to the on-premise alternative mentioned in the last section of the article.

We recently released a Flutter SDK for our real-time communication platform and we invite you to try it out (previously we only had native SDKs).

We posted a short tutorial on how to add messaging, calls, and conferencing to your Flutter app in 30 minutes.

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions or feedback after taking a look. We're excited to make our platform more accessible to Flutter developers. Feel free to reach out if you need any help getting started.

Thanks!
