CLUSTER BETWEEN-CHAT-ENABLES · 36 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-02-07
Real-time chat apps
This cluster comprises 41 real-time chat applications, ranging from simple messengers to WhatsApp-style clones, with features like media sharing, presence, and group channels. Entries appeared intermittently across several months from late 2023 to mid-2026, with no clear growth pattern, and many members lack source dates. Traction is low overall; the leading project, WEPCHAT-flutter, has 3 stars, followed by flutter-firebase-chat with 2 and web-chat with 1.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
