Does anyone know a good open-source version of this type of functionality. I have a client now that wants me to add this to their site but the data cannot go through a third-party company. My stack is django-based but I am open to any solution that works well.

If you are willing to build on go, we open sourced the "wc" (WebChannel) library which handles all of the messages for dropinchat. http://gopkg.in/samegoal/wc.v0 http://gopkg.in/samegoal/wc.v0 Also, out of curiosity, if dropinchat provided a virtual appliance so that you didn't need to send the messages off network would that address your security concerns?

You can take a look at Mozilla's TogetherJS (https://togetherjs.com/ https://togetherjs.com/). It has a chat functionality and you can host it on your own.

I wrote an open source XMPP-based chat client: https://conversejs.org https://conversejs.org There is a Django add-on for it as well: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-conversejs https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-conversejs In the latest unreleased version (0.8), you only have to load converse.min.js and converse.min.css in your HTML. The 0.8 release should go out within the next few weeks.

Try Jappix mini (https://mini.jappix.com/ https://mini.jappix.com/). Uses XMPP instead of reinventing the wheel once again. Also, if you need a generic chat, try Candy (https://candy-chat.github.io/candy/ https://candy-chat.github.io/candy/). Again, XMPP-based.
