- thecatspaw 9y agoThis very much feels like a promotionpiece for silkui. "Regarding the UI, the choice is yours. Et voilà! You have a working chat app!" Or you could use our silkui tool. I am not against promotionpieces on hackernews, I realize that companies need to earn money somehow. But I certainly expect more than a datamodel, "lets use firebase for realtime communication", and "draw the rest of the owl/UI"
- megous 9y agoWhat 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. Perhaps a small plugin for prosody if necesary at all and a self-contained JS code. Nothing else.
