Show HN: ChiefOnboarding: open-source employee onboarding platform (+ Slack bot)
I have been building ChiefOnboarding for about 4 years now. With ChiefOnboarding, you can easily design timelines for new hires. Add to do items, courses, badges, introductions, custom text/Slack/email messages, create user accounts (i.e. Google and Slack) and so much more. You can drag and drop them into the timelines and then re-use those timelines for other new hires.
You can onboard new hires through the Slack bot or through the web portal. ChiefOnboarding is available in multiple languages and uses timezones (even per new hire - for remote companies).
It used to be a SaaS, but a few months ago, I decided to make it completely open source. I still provide hosting for customers, but you can deploy it on your own servers if you want (docker-compose file included for easy deployment).

Multiple reasons, but here is why: https://chiefonboarding.com/blog/going-open-source
AGLPv3 permits anyone that makes changes to it to open source it. This makes sure that all code will stay open source and a company can't just run with it and perhaps resell it without making it open source too.
