I recently installed Subway IRC on my server and loving it! https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway If you look web-based IRC client. Its build on Node and Backbone.
Even if a certain service has more features, I prefer to use the one based on open protocols, and in this case, IRC.
Kandan is completely Open Source and uses Faye as a messaging protocol which is also Open Source.
As a SE mod (and Kandan dev member), it's similar. Definitely worth looking into (in my opinion). :)
Goes it have GitHub integration out of the box? That is the killer HipChat feature for me. I also like that HipChat will let me upload and link people to files.
There's a link for their Hubot integration in the README.
Does it speak jabber?
What's the login for the Kandan demo?
You can register a user to test it.
I got stumped on that one too. Just create a demo account and use that to login.
I created demo1/testing if you don't want to bother signing up.
Looks awesome! I really love HipChat, but I'd love to be able to really customize it. The local chat room becomes a pretty big part of the company and deserves to have all manner of culture added to it (logo, sounds, etc).
What an asshole of a name to give chat software, surely they'd heard of Jabber/XMPP?
It was written in ASP. We can't assume anything!
We've been trying this out at my company, it's pretty full-featured already. Now if I could just get all my colleague's on board with the idea of a private company chat.
Happy to see Kandan found its second wind! Thanks for all the work you're putting in :)
Are there Mobile apps that connect to this? I use the campfire app all the time
