Kandan is an open-source self-hosted group chat application built with JavaScript, designed as a sleek alternative to hosted chat services. It provides channels and real-time messaging for teams, and development has since moved to the KandanApp organization.

Use cases

  • self-host a team chat server instead of using Slack
  • run a private open-source chat room for my company
  • deploy an IRC-style group chat on my own infrastructure
  • give my team real-time chat without a third-party SaaS
  • customize an open-source chat app's source code

When to choose

  • you want a fully self-hosted open-source chat application you can modify
  • you need a lightweight Slack-like chat without vendor lock-in
  • you want to study or fork an older JavaScript-based chat app

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained chat platform with security updates
  • you want modern features like threads, video calls, or mobile apps
  • you need a supported product with recent releases
