Scrollback is an ideal Node app that you can use and keep in touch with your clients/community using your main site as a landing page.
The chat script works via an embeddable chat window that popups out of the corner of your page and lets users talk to each other (or to you) via simple raw text messages.
Users will be able to see and search previous conversations via Scrollback's archiving feature and they'll also be able to browse a list of other users connected to the current chat room.
They'll be able to login with a permanent name via Facebook or a Mozilla Persona ID, and they'll also be able to share chat messages via Twitter.
Scrollback also features a Twitter-like mentioning system, meaning you can address messages just to specific persons and they'll (optionally) get an email notification when this happens.
Tweets and IRC channels can also be brought into the chat room as well, bridging Scrollback, Twitter and IRC support/conversations.
The chat window supports multiple chat rooms at the same time and if the small box is annoying you can also minify it to a small bar.
If you have an opposite sentiment and think the chat window is too small, they you can also make the entire chatting application open in its own standalone browser tab.
Requirements:
- Node.js 0.8 or higher
