Chat client #96

Closed AbdealiLoKo closed 9 years ago

AbdealiLoKo commented 10 years ago

I've been against this earlier ... But I feel that we should implement a chat client.

It makes work easier ... and well, most people use hangout waaay too frequently because it's not there on erp

Hmm. it's a little tricky. and we need permission for the server as the specification says no persistent connections.

Better way is to use Facebook api. It won't take any load from us. Facebook has a chat api

I've begun implementing it in a branch called chat .. But it's breaking bootstrap for some reason ... On Jun 1, 2014 12:13 PM, "Sai Praveen B" notifications@github.com wrote:

Telegram also provides nice api. But since they authorize fb, it will be easier i guess

So,

I had tried this earlier. And again tried it a week back. @shahidhk : It is quite painful. Do we need this ? Also, we cannot host our own chat server (on our servers. chat servers cost a LOT) ... so, we'd have to rely on external chat servers ... which is actually bad.
