LingChair

LingChair is a light-weight, powerful and open-source Instant Message project.

This project is written in Chinese so far, so it's quite hard for non-Chinese users to use it.

Background

I hate QQ and WeChat. There are many demerits in these softwares. For example, QQ and WeChat are bloatwares, many useless features are included, and my accounts usually get restricted unintelligibly.(Can't use old version, block my account, etc.)

Badly, almost people are using these softwares, even goverment, so I have to use these f**ing bloatwares.

So I created this project.

Using

Using in server

For server-side, you need install Node.js first. Then clone or download this repo.

And run:

npm install

After that, run:

npm run start

If you don't want to use npm, you can run it instead:

node index.js --build

After waiting for the HTTP service, you can enjoy it :D

Using in client

First, you need a browser that at least Chromium 84(I'm not sure that what will happen if you use lower version)

Then, open http(s)://[your_server_ip]:[your_server_port] to use LingChair.
