Practical overview

When it fits

Consider it when a group needs desktop chat and bulletins in one client and wants the option of using a public or group-operated relay.

Who it is for

  • Desktop users who want chat alongside community announcements.
  • Groups choosing between a public relay, a server provided by another operator, or a server they operate themselves.
  • Developers examining a JavaScript and Electron messaging client.

Documented uses

  • Send chat messages through a relay server.
  • Publish or read bulletin and announcement messages.
  • Create an account locally rather than registering for one.
  • Use a third-party-provided server or arrange a server for a private group.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project describes locally generated accounts without registration. Its README lists a public service and downloadable installation packages through the repository's releases page.

  • The client is separate from the router and server projects; self-hosting involves infrastructure beyond installing the desktop client.
  • The README specifies Node.js v10.11.0 for its source build instructions.
  • The repository links to a separate user tutorial and to technical wiki pages covering cryptography, system design, business messages and data storage.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
