Edgechat

Project Overview

Edgechat is a chat system you can deploy yourself. It hosts the message service on a Cloudflare Worker, uses Vue for the front end, and keeps session state in Durable Objects. It can bridge in Telegram as an entry point and encrypt messages with AES-256-GCM, which suits people who want a private chat service without relying on a third-party SaaS. The project is open source under GPL-3.0.
