The announcement of spectrum made me wonder. Are there plans for spectrum like features for discourse core? (Spectrum is fairly close, bringing chat a little closer)

Yes, without a bunch of very specific .. specifics there’s nothing to rationally respond with here.

Fair enough. A better phrasing would have been, are there any plans to integrate chat features in the core alike babble’s full page chat, but supported by discourse?

I like the concepts in babble, but it breaks too often, due to what _seems_ like not being a core part of discourse.

The reason I mentioned spectrum was because that’s what it essentially comes down to, and most folks did see the announcement.

No, there are zero plans for this.
