More shameful as it's hijacking it.

#22Do you guys know about https://chatango.com ? It's a more mature product, also based on Go backend. Founder here, so please ask any questions.
Shameless hijacking and also just not as good..

#23Hehe built something like this as a small project a while ago for fun...interlude.im
Hi, I just checked out interlude. Cool project.
I think the intent of our app is slightly different than yours. Our hope was to allow users of authenticated web applications to chat with one another. Our demo is misleading in this regard as all visitors to dropinchat.com get dropped into a single "chat group" (we din't want users to need to register in order to try it out). We think that apps this product might work well with are enterprise style collaborative applications (where users are already authenticated).

Fair enough :) Good luck!

I looked at chatango and I think the intended use case is a bit different than dropinchat. Drop-in chat provides user-to-user instant messaging. As best I can tell, chatango (primarily?) provides broadcast style communication. Is this correct?

#26Does anyone know a good open-source version of this type of functionality. I have a client now that wants me to add this to their site but the data cannot go through a third-party company.
My stack is django-based but I am open to any solution that works well.

Oh it's written in Go? That's so cool! Can you tell us more? Maybe do a Show HN some time.

If you are willing to build on go, we open sourced the "wc" (WebChannel) library which handles all of the messages for dropinchat.

Also, out of curiosity, if dropinchat provided a virtual appliance so that you didn't need to send the messages off network would that address your security concerns?

#29Very nice, I'll be keeping an eye on this. I'm sure you guys have a million other things to do, but don't forget handling multiple tabs by the same user.
e: Ah, and somebody's already trying to inject javascript. You rascals ;)
