Kandan Core represents a modern revival of the self-hosted open-source team chat application, Kandan. It is being developed to offer a robust, real-time communication platform specifically designed for teams, leveraging a contemporary technology stack that includes Angular 21 for the frontend, Express/Node/TypeScript for the backend, and Socket.io for real-time messaging. Positioned as a powerful open-source alternative to commercial solutions like HipChat, this project aims to deliver essential features such as secure user authentication, comprehensive multi-channel support, granular administrative oversight, and rich messaging capabilities, thereby empowering organizations with complete control over their internal communication infrastructure and data.
