This looks great. Thanks for making it open-source. I've tried other self-hosted chat apps, but this one looks promising. IRC integration would be great. :)<p>When I was experimenting with websockets, I wanted to make a simple chat app that integrates with Github projects. Of course, not nearly as feature rich, but just an experiment to learn.<p>Source with demo: <a href="https://github.com/alfg/chathub-client" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/alfg/chathub-client</a>
Very nice work! And thanks so much for making it open source. Our company is always looking for an open-source solution that would let us move off of Hangouts, and this might just be the vehicle for that someday. XMPP, chat history, @mentions, local hosting, and open source...a great combo.<p>The only major thing that's missing that we'd need is private chat! Hope to see that as a feature someday.
I literally <i>just</i> came from the Slack site to HN wondering if there was an opensource/selfhosting version of something like Slack. Well I guess that question is answered.
Awesome stuff @hhaidar! I'm sure a bunch of people will love the fact that logs and data exist on their servers. I'm sure it'll resolve some privacy/internal regulation concerns.<p>Also, hi from Toronto!
I work out of CSI at Bloor + Bathurst. Nice to see another Torontonian on here :)
This looks amazing - I recently had to add chat functionality to a web service (self-hosted) and was very much surprised at the crappy options out there. I ended up going with converse.js but the django support was lacking and the whole thing took a lot longer than i thought it was going to take (but then again , it always does)<p>I might test this out and actually swap them out if it works well.
Slightly off topic but everyone here seems somewhat interested in open source self hosted solutions, so check out <a href="http://selfhosted.reddit.com" rel="nofollow">http://selfhosted.reddit.com</a>
This is great! We use Slack at work and for our uses wouldn't move away from it (we're paying and all), BUT for small teams/private projects/miscellaneous stuff, I absolutely love this.<p>Great work!
I was about to say "come on, nothing beats IRC", but then I remembered how I always wanted IRC to have LDAP, XMPP, and a REST API.<p>So... can I connect with my IRC client?
Neat. What's the purpose of the "slug" when creating the room? I was expecting it to be the URL slug, such as <a href="http://localhost:5000/#!/room/my-room" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:5000/#!/room/my-room</a> (and quickly noticed hyphens in the slug name caused a validation error...).
This is really great. Two big missing features preventing us from switching away from Slack are direct messages and mobile push notifications. The latter is hard to do: push is highly centralized, which is really bad for self-hosted/open source software. But DMs are totally doable.
Is there a way to change user avatars? The screenshot has them but I can't find it in 0.3.2.<p>BTW the wiki page for Docker references release/0.3.0, but you don't have that branch naming prefix (release/).
Could anyone tell me whether this supports markdown and whether it supports syntax highlighting? (kanban too if anyone knows). I tried reading on the respective github project pages but couldn't see anything related to those two questions.
I think you guys should change the behaviour regarding the focus of the text box. If I start typing in the chat window, and my cursor didn't activate the text box, it doesn't type.
You guys should mention MIT license in the title, I didn't click earlier today because I thought it was a paid hosted solution.<p>(Nothing against paid, I'm just browsing as tinkering me atm : )
I setup lets chat at a small start up I was at about 2 years and it worked very well then and im happy that it looks even better now. Will definitely consider it in the future.
