chat

Simple plug & play real-time JavaScript chat implemented using Socket.io.

Where simplicity meets usability:

  • No user accounts - just enter nickname and join.
  • No history saved - only logged-in users can see recent history.
  • No configuration.
  • Only one room - you can't create any other rooms or write PM to others.
  • Files sharing is possible - without storing any data on server.
  • Emojis - just a few of them.
