A self-deployable chat application built on the idea that your messages should be yours to manage. It features:
- Custom emoji
- File sharing
- Image sharing
- Message editing
- Markdown support in messages, even tables!
- Math rendering with KaTeX
- User control over login sessions
- Dark-mode support, it even follows system dark-mode (at least on macOS)
- Small indication when other users are typing
- Preview PDF files in the browser side-by-side with the chat

In short, our future plans for this project is to make a complete chat application. For detailed targets, take a look at the project boards on this repo. Feel free to implement something and send a pull request!
Our technology stack is as follows:
- Database: We use Postgres with Yoyo for database migrations. The migrations are stored in the
migrations/folder. - Backend: A simple Flask server in Python. For websockets support we use gevent.
- Frontend: Vuejs with Bootstrap and some custom styles.
