Microsoft Teams PWA with Angular & Chromium

Microsoft Teams is a new, very fast growing member of Office family.
It competes with Slack, a very popular app for enterprise (and other) collaboration.
Microsoft Teams is included in some of Office 365 subscriptions and is well integrated.

Architecture of Teams is a bit unusual for Microsoft product:
it is based on client side web technologies, including Angular and related,
and is packaged with "web shell" based on Electron/Chromium.
Essentially Microsoft is leveraging some Google's open source tools for new flagship product!


very informative interview:

"Microsoft Teams is built from the ground up using modern web technologies; Angular, TypeScript, Webpack, SASS and more. It uses over 200 different OSS components and is designed to share as much code as possible between different clients."
