@angus and I had a nice time yesterday hacking on this thing; we’re getting close to a first stopping point, after which we’ll encourage folks to install it and play around a little. Here’s a gif of the existing functionality:

## **Creating a category chat**![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/b/fb2645a9f2d92a2432d56b6afe05066faf6463e4.gif)

**Having a chat in full page mode**

We’ve also added a site setting which allows toggling between full page mode and the shoutbox style plugin which exists currently.

If you _really_ want to be on the bleeding edge, you can follow along with the following clone url:

```plaintext
git clone -b full-page-chat https://github.com/gdpelican/babble.git

```

And select ‘enable full page chat mode’ in the plugin settings.

But I couldn’t recommend throwing this onto a live instance just yet.
