I am in the early planning stages for a chat plugin that fulfills the goals mentioned here . When the initial version of the plugin is created I will create a new topic, however this topic is a good place to think about how this plugin will work. At this stage I’m thinking the plugin will have the f…

‘4’ and ‘5’ are both on the very top of my Discourse chat wishlist, but I don’t think they’re critical for a v1.0. If anything, ‘5’ should come before ‘4’. meta.discourse.org is the most natural place to test the prototype of such a chat (as we did with Babble), and the sub-community most amenable …

I think that, rather than having a completely separate view, the chat stream should exist as a sub-route of Discovery, taking advantage of the Discovery navigation,…

Really excited about this. Do you think having the chat live on the bottom right of the screen where there is a lot of space would be possible?

Sweet! I have this on my list for tomorrow. :dragon:

This is awesome work, thanks! Some thoughts: I wondered while playing about the way we differentiate between a ‘category’ and a ‘group’ chat. Here’s a quick mockup for something that feels intuitive to me: Group chat: [immagine] Category chat: [immagine] ‘Chat’ archetype seems simple and…
