WARNING: dochat is currently not usable in its current state!
dochat's goal is be an lean open-source self-hosted text and voice platform team chat for you and your friends (or colleagues)!
- fast: Built using D, a native system language, and vibe.d, a fast Web application framework.
- simple: We should do the heavylifting, not you. Readable documentation and server settings for everyone!
- open: The server, client, and specifications are open and documentated.
This repository includes both the dochat Web client and the dochat server.
Not production-ready!
Current status: In development.

- Why did you make dochat?
I decided to make my own platform to answer my own needs: a self-contained, self-hosted, and Discord/IRC/Teamspeak/Mumble/Wire/XMPP replacement.
- Why with D and vibe.d?
D is simply my primary programming language, and vibe.d is fast.
dochat is built with these following awesome libraries and resources. Give them a star too!
- Feather Icons v4.8.0 - https://feathericons.com/
- Vibe.d - https://vibed.org/
- d2sqlite3 - https://github.com/biozic/d2sqlite3/
- sdlang-d - https://github.com/Abscissa/SDLang-D/
