Hey all,
One of the creators, this is the first project we've taken from inception to open source, and are working towards building a hosted service [0]. A big motivator for building it was the high costs associated with competitors like Intercom.io and Smooch
It mainly comprises of 3 code bases, the server[1], the client[2] and then an application[3] to speak to the client.
As always would love to hear feedback, good and bad! Also if you have any questions let me know :)

- patcon 9y agoHey! Nice! This project might be just the thing for our open source project's homepage, to allow non-technical folks to engage with us easiest! It feels like it would be really beneficial for it to work with matterbridge (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge), then people could pipe it into whichever tool they prefer. Any plans to have it speak an established protocol, like xmpp?
- mihok 9y agoThanks ^_^ I havent heard of matterbridge before, so I definitely will star that and take a peak, looks cool We've thought about working with xmpp because it would allow us to cover a lot of things people use to connect with, and plan on building out an operator (our speak for the other end of a web visitor's conversation) for it!
- maxpert 9y agoGlad to see one more project, can already see some bugs :) would love to contribute. Shameless plug http://raspchat.com/ http://raspchat.com/ I have done similar hobby project which runs server on Raspberry Pi at my work place and it can handle quite some load. Last time it got posted on 4chan it was spammed by ~5K connections constantly pounding spam messages, but it handled traffic well (it did slow the whole thing down to it's knees).
- mihok 9y agoNice! please make an issue for the bugs!! We've done some initial load testing, and are super pleased with using go channels as the server layer medium.
