Rocket.Chat is free, unlimited and open-source, replacing email and Slack as the ultimate team chat software solution. But what's it like to design such a powerful open-source platform?

Native typography.

The design of every Rocket.Chat platform was created with native system fonts. Created with legibility at the core, these fonts will dynamically adapt to the platform's specificity for unmatched performance.

Buttons and Dropdown.

We believe in a well-structured component-based system that can effortlessly bridge the design and development process. A single source of truth that serves as the backbone of Rocket.Chat.

The sidebar.

Constructed with smaller independent components that together form a versatile, ever-changing navigation bar that is paramount to the platform's navigation.

Small pieces of a very complex puzzle, each with their own specificity, with various perks and permutations, come together to form Rocket.Chat.
