ForumPlayer / chat

Lightweight plug & play, self-hosted, zeroconfig node.js chat.

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.
