If you are interested in the concept of `noIM`, welcome to read my blog: - [It's time to officially step into the era of noIM](https://tailchat.msgbyte.com/blog/2023/03/01/the-era-of-noIM) Official Documentation: [https://tailchat.msgbyte.com/](https://tailchat.msgbyte.com/) **Nightly version** Try it online: [https://nightly.paw.msgbyte.com/](https://nightly.paw.msgbyte.com/) > Nightly version is the automatic compile version, that means, every commit code will be automatically compiled. > The reliability and stability of the data are not guaranteed, you can deploy with stable version with docker images or github release page ## Motivation At present, the existing IM applications only focus on chatting itself, and IM is naturally a multi-person collaboration method. In my opinion, it should be able to take on more responsibilities, and form its own unique way of forwarding external applications through IM workflow. Therefore, I bring up the point of `noIM`, which means **Not only IM**. Instead, it designed a highly customized application platform for individuals/teams centered on IM, with third-party applications as enhanced functions, and a plugin system as the glue connection layer in the middle. To this end, the functions were abstracted, and a lot of time was spent designing the underlying mechanism. An instant messaging application such as `Tailchat` was born for expansion from the beginning of the underlying design. Through `Tailchat`'s plugin system, developers can easily use their favorite applications as part of `Tailchat` in a very natural way. Different from traditional integration methods such as `Slack`, the integration of `Tailchat` is more free, as if it is a native function. ## Feature - Pay attention to privacy, only invited members can join the group - Prevent strangers, add friends only by nickname + a random string of numbers - Two-level group space, dividing different topics by panels - Highly customized group space, create original group space by grouping with dragging and dropping. At the same time, more plugins can be used to add more capabilities - It can be rigorous or fun. Through the combination of plugins, `Tailchat` can be created for different scenarios. It can be for individuals or for enterprises - The backend microservice structure is ready for large-scale deployment. Don't worry about what to do after the number of user growth Learn more in our [website](https://tailchat.msgbyte.com/) ## Performance and Expansion Tailchat is a modern open source IM application which based on **React** + **Typescript** Front-end microkernel architecture + backend microservice architecture, `Tailchat` is ready for clustering deployment. The front end empowers the application through the plugin system, which is very simple and easy to expand for the secondary development of `Tailchat`. **NOTICE: Although the core functionality of Tailchat is currently in a stable stage, its exposed interface for third-party developers is still being improved. Generally speaking, it is backward compatible, but retains the possibility of Break Change** ## Preview    Visit the official website to learn more: [https://tailchat.msgbyte.com/](https://tailchat.msgbyte.com/) ## Quick Deploy ### Deploy on Sealos [](https://cloud.sealos.io/?openapp=system-template%3FtemplateName%3Dtailchat) ### Deploy on ClawCloud Run [](https://template.run.claw.cloud/?referralCode=R8D5TGYVHBNJ&openapp=system-fastdeploy%3FtemplateName%3Dtailchat) ## Communication If you are interested in `Tailchat`, welcome to join `Tailchat`'s seed user exchange group, your feedback can help `Tailchat` grow better ### Tailchat [Tailchat Nightly Group](https://nightly.paw.msgbyte.com/invite/8Jfm1dWb) ### Producthunt <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/posts/tailchat?utm_source=badge-featured&utm_medium=badge&utm_souce=badge-tailchat" target="_blank"> <img src="https://api.producthunt.com/widgets/embed-image/v1/featured.svg?post_id=382080&theme=light" alt="Tailchat - The next-generation noIM Application in your own workspace | Product Hunt" style="width: 250px; height: 54px;" width="250" height="54" /> </a> ## Project Activity  ## License [Apache 2.0](./LICENSE)
