Tailchat is an open-source instant messaging application designed as a modern workspace communication platform. It is built with React and TypeScript on the front end and uses a back-end microservice architecture for scalability. The project positions itself as more than a Slack, Discord, or Rocket.Chat alternative by emphasizing custom scenarios through plugins. Its front-end microkernel architecture makes it easier to extend the interface and build secondary development workflows. Tailchat can be used by individuals or enterprises, and its architecture is prepared for clustered deployment as usage grows. The core functionality is described as stable, while third-party developer interfaces are still evolving and may change over time.
