Overview
Minchat is a free minimalist chat application. It is based on wojtek77/chat, itself based on Gabriel Nava's tutorial.
Features

- No need for users to register. Just need the web address. But optional authorisation control.
- On connection, the page is fed with the messages of the day
- Args are in the URL as get arguments, so that you can share the URL or make it a favorite to avoid filling a form.

Disclaimers / important information
Setup
The setup is optional. If you leave it as is, there is a single unnamed room, opened to all users. If you want to customize the access control, edit the file conf/setup.ini
(if missing, copy it from conf/sample/setup.ini
). The interesting parameter is auth
that indicates which user is authorized to which room.
In this example auth = John:Game,John:Family,Mary:Game,Tim:Family,admin:*,*:Public,*:
,
John:Game,John:Family
= John can access the Game room, the Family roomMary:Game
= Mary can access the Game roomTim:Family
= Tim can access the Family roomadmin:*
= admin can access all rooms*:Public
= everybody can acccess the Public room*:
= everybody can access the unnamed room
Hints for users
- The URLs you send are linked or transformed to images when preceeded by a
!
- If multiple rooms are allowed by the administrator in the
setup.ini
, you can have several tabs opened to different rooms in the same browser.
