## What it is
DogeHouse is an open-source social audio platform (a Clubhouse-style voice conversation app) with an Elixir API, voice server, Next.js web frontend, Electron desktop client, and React Native mobile app. The creator has publicly announced he is done with the project, and the original domain now points to unrelated content.

## Use cases
- host open-source voice chat rooms like clubhouse
- self-host a social audio conversation platform
- study how a realtime voice chat app is architected
- build a desktop voice chat client with electron
- fork a clubhouse-style audio app for my community

## When to choose
- you want to study or fork the codebase of a full-stack realtime voice chat product
- you need reference code for Elixir voice servers, Electron wrappers, or Next.js frontends

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready voice chat platform
- you expect official hosting, updates, or support - the project is abandoned and its domain is squatted
- you want a quick drop-in solution rather than a fork-and-maintain effort

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: websocket, http-server, chat-interface, audio-processing
- domain: web-development, self-hosted, messaging-platforms
- platform: windows, elixir, cross-platform
- tags: voice-chat, clubhouse-clone, social-audio, electron-app, react-native, nextjs, discontinued, real-time, web-server, desktop, macos, linux, electron, nodejs, react
