Prompt
A desktop messaging app for companies with 30–300 people (1440×900): channels, groups, and direct messages on the left, and the ongoing conversation in the middle. Messages include text, images, files, code snippets, polls, and emoji reactions. Use a Chinese interface.
The sense of immediacy is the heart of this piece: sending a message, several colleagues typing at once, opening a thread on one message, and other people's replies and reactions appearing in real time should all feel smooth and have weight. Do not turn it into an email client or a task board.
Design three states: everyday conversation in a busy channel; a thread opened on one message; mentioning a colleague in the input box and dropping in a file, ready to send.

一个给 30–300 人公司用的即时通讯桌面端(1440×900):左边是频道、群组和私聊,中间是正在进行的对话。消息里有文字、图片、文件、代码片段、投票和表情回应。界面用中文。
聊天的即时感是这件作品的核心:发出一条消息、几个同事同时在输入、对某一条展开话题回复、别人的回复和表情实时冒出来,都要顺手、有分量。不要做成邮件客户端或任务看板。
设计三个状态:一个热闹频道里的日常对话;在某条消息上展开话题回复;在输入框里 @ 同事、拖进文件后准备发送。
