CLUSTER CLIENT-DESKTOP-VIDEO · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-10-02

Desktop communication clients

The cluster consists of desktop applications that wrap web-based team messaging and video conferencing platforms, often for Linux, and a few unified communication clients that combine email, IM, and video. Dated entries appear sporadically from April 2016, with a slight increase in frequency from September 2023 onward, and single entries in most recent months before the index. Traction leaders roomler-ai, mts-linkchats, and mts-linkchats-desktop all have zero stars, indicating no standout traction yet.

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.
