## What it is
Timy is an open-source group messaging mobile app built with Flutter, targeting Android and iOS with a Firebase backend. It supports groups, open/private channels, photo sharing, emoji reactions, push notifications, and event channels with RSVP and an aggregated calendar.

## Use cases
- open source group chat app for communities
- self-hosted messenger alternative to Slack for groups
- organize events with RSVP in a chat app
- learn Flutter by studying a full messaging app
- private channels and photo sharing for teams
- messaging app with push notifications and calendar

## When to choose
- you want a customizable open-source group messenger on Android and iOS
- you need event organization (calendar, RSVP) built into chat
- you're comfortable deploying and configuring a Firebase backend

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, actively maintained messenger - the project pins Flutter 1.10.5 and releases have stalled
- you want a backend other than Firebase
- you need desktop or web clients
