MetoYou Documentation

MetoYou is a desktop-first chat stack with a peer-to-peer product client, an Electron desktop shell, a Node signaling server, local persistence, realtime voice/video, a local automation API, and a client plugin runtime.

The product experience is intentionally close to a modern team chat application:

• servers organize communities or workspaces;
• text channels keep room conversations scoped and searchable;
• direct messages stay separate from server context;
• voice, video, and screen sharing use WebRTC peer connections;
• invite links help members join the current server;
• local desktop settings control data, updates, plugins, and automation access.

The Electron app also hosts this documentation. The docs endpoint is not a separate web server process: it is served from the same opt-in local HTTP server used for the Local API, and it only serves static files generated by Docusaurus.

What Is Included

Area	What it covers
Product client	Login, server discovery, channels, messages, voice, direct messages, themes, and plugin UI.
Desktop shell	Window controls, notifications, tray behavior, app data import/export, updates, local plugins, and hosted documentation.
Local HTTP API	A loopback-first API for local scripts and tools, with OpenAPI and Scalar reference docs.
Plugin runtime	Browser-safe client plugins with explicit capabilities, lifecycle hooks, UI contributions, data storage, message bus, and server plugin requirements.

Runtime Boundaries

MetoYou keeps responsibilities split by package:

• toju-app/ is the Angular product client and plugin runtime.
• electron/ is the main process, preload bridge, IPC, local persistence, and local HTTP host.
• server/ is the signaling and server-directory service.
• e2e/ contains Playwright coverage for browser and WebRTC workflows.
• docs-site/ is this Docusaurus site.

The desktop documentation endpoint serves the static docs-site/build output. It does not run the Docusaurus development server inside Electron.
