    Can anybody throw out some names for web based XMPP chats that allow you to enter a muc, have good UI, and don't require you to sign up

  2. Link Mauve

    Converse.

  3. tom

    Can that be used on a web page without requiring the user to sign up or create an account, just ask for a nickname

  4. tom

    It's a bit weird a web application is a server module

  11. tom

    Why is it like that?

  12. pep.

    It's just serving JS

  13. tom

    Do I have to do that or can my own webserver serve the js

  14. pep.

    And using some of your server config to generate that JS, but it can be static

  15. pep.

    You can have your own web server

  16. pep.

    You can even do JS locally

  17. pep.

    In something like epiphany or *drumroll* .. electron

  18. tom

    Is there a web based xmpp client that doesn't use javascript

  19. pep.

    I am not sure such a thing exists or is even possible, unless you want 90s UX

  20. tom

    That's fine

  21. tom

    And preferred

  22. pep.

    Movim uses little JS, but still JS.

  23. pep.

    You'd need to add support for sasl anon though
