This looks great. Thanks for making it open-source. I've tried other self-hosted chat apps, but this one looks promising. IRC integration would be great. :)

When I was experimenting with websockets, I wanted to make a simple chat app that integrates with Github projects. Of course, not nearly as feature rich, but just an experiment to learn.

Indeed very interesting open-source application! I agree IRC integration would be really nice, it's one of my favourite features on Slack, allowing me to communicate with my team mates without changing context when i'm inside a server context.

I wrote a simple how-to to do it for Slack and would be delighted to contribute on this feature for Let's chat!

Hey if you're IRC-foo is crazy good, it'd be amazing if you helped us out! Think about it, you could be internet batman.

For github projects, I've been using http://gitter.im I've found the integration to be awesome and well thought-out.

Oh, definitely. Gitter has been great as a hosted solution!

What's with the auto-playing music when you hit their main page though? It looks like a great project, and I do love Mario and all things Nintendo, but auto-playing music is just obnoxious.

You can have a look at Waartaa - https://github.com/waartaa/waartaa

+1 for the demo. If there's a 1click2heroku script for this, it will be golden~

That looks pretty neat.

Also +1 for having a demo!
