Hey Hacker News! Last week we made the codebase for product 100% open source. This week we shipped a dashboard to manage connectors, as well as integrations with Google Drive, Zendesk, Notion, and Confluence. This means Sidekick is now the fastest way to sync data from these tools to a vector database. Why is this important?
