This very much feels like a promotionpiece for silkui.<p>&quot;Regarding the UI, the choice is yours. Et voilà! You have a working chat app!&quot; Or you could use our silkui tool.<p>I am not against promotionpieces on hackernews, I realize that companies need to earn money somehow. But I certainly expect more than a datamodel, &quot;lets use firebase for realtime communication&quot;, and &quot;draw the rest of the owl&#x2F;UI&quot;

What would be nice is a component that would connect to a XMPP server over a websocket, create a temporary account (save a handle to localStorage) and start a chat with me. Everything could run on the same server.<p>Perhaps a small plugin for prosody if necesary at all and a self-contained JS code. Nothing else.
