Why Zlikord?
Section titled “Why Zlikord?”Most communication platforms require trusting a third party with your messages, metadata, and presence data. Zlikord takes a different approach:
- Tailscale-only deployment - The server is designed to run inside your Tailnet. No port forwarding, no public exposure.
- No telemetry - Zero analytics, zero tracking. The server logs only what you configure it to log.
- Open source - The entire stack (Go API, Electron desktop, React Native mobile) is open source and auditable.
- Simple architecture - A single Go binary + PostgreSQL. No microservices, no message brokers, no complexity tax.
