Talkative: Open-Source Audio Chat Rooms

A self-hosted alternative to Clubhouse for customizable audio discussions and conversations

What is Talkative?

Talkative is an open-source, self-hosted web application that provides similar functionality as the popular Clubhouse app. Developed using Node.js and React, Talkative allows users to create audio chat rooms where people can have conversations and discussions on any topic.

As an open-source alternative to Clubhouse, Talkative gives server administrators more control and customization options for them to tweak the software to their needs. For example, Talkative can be configured to enable user authentication via social login providers or LDAP. Admins can also customize the look and feel of the UI using themes.

From an end-user perspective, Talkative provides a simple interface to discover chat rooms created by others as well as start your own conversations. Users can easily join an audio room, enable their mic to start speaking or simply listen in on interesting discussions. Basic chat moderation capabilities are also included.

By being self-hosted, Talkative provides better data privacy compared to SaaS apps like Clubhouse. Overall, if you are looking for an open-source alternative to Clubhouse that gives you more control and customization options, Talkative is worth considering.
