Open source real-time team chat

Overview

Quackity is a full-featured team chat application built with InstantDB for real-time sync. It supports workspaces, channels, direct messages, threads, reactions, file attachments, and video calls, all with a warm, polished interface.

Originally built as a tutorial project for the Matt & Ari YouTube channel, it was refactored and polished into a production-quality Slack-style experience. The architecture demonstrates how to build complex real-time applications with modern tools.

The monorepo includes a React frontend, a Bun/Elysia API server for auth and call tokens, and shared packages for schema, data queries, and Cloudflare RealtimeKit-powered video calls.
