talkbox.js

talkbox is a small and simple webchat built with node.js and jQuery. Currently, there isn't any spam filtering, also nobody claims it's secure.

But: It's super fast to deploy, has a minimal footprint and you might be able to learn something while looking at it.

Demo

An instance running: http://talkbox.q1cc.net

Features

Currently we have:

• webinterface (needs javascript in browser)
• xmpp-connector to have jabber/xmpp-users join your chat
• coloured nicknames!
• content embedding functionality for pictures and many websites like youtube, vimeo, etc.
• markdown support (github-flavoured)

It couldn't be simpler!

npm start talkbox
