## What it is
A web-based chat application built in Go using WebSocket for real-time messaging, supporting one-on-one and group chats with text, image, voice, and video messages. It also includes WebRTC-based P2P voice/video calls, screen sharing, and distributed deployment via Kafka.

## Use cases
- build a self-hosted web chat app
- learn websocket real-time messaging in Go
- implement p2p video calls with webrtc
- group chat with image and voice messages
- horizontally scalable chat with kafka
- learn protobuf message protocols
- screen sharing in a browser chat

## When to choose
- you want a full-stack Go + React chat reference implementation
- you need self-hosted IM with rich media and WebRTC calls
- you want to study goroutine/channel-based concurrency and protobuf in a real project

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade IM with no license and limited hardening
- you require enterprise features like E2E encryption or federation
- you want a turnkey SaaS chat solution rather than a learning-oriented codebase
