💮 Neon Chat
Requires Pusher or kyrne/websocket by @Kyrne
Adds native realtime chat application to your Flarum. Neon Chat tried to inherit a lot of features from different messengers to combine them into one extension that will help give you the experience of using popular messengers directly on your forum page.
💬 Group, private conversations, and channels
You can create and setup your own channel or group chat setting its appearance, users to communicate with, and appearance
📱Media content preview
Neon chat creates a preview for links that can contain media-embedded content, making communication brighter and more enjoyable. Markdown also works just like on the forum.
💺 Moveable, minimizing and silent
You can move the chat frame by placing it in a convenient place, minimize and maximize it, and enable or disable sound and image notifications.
And much more
It is very difficult to embrace all the subtleties that are in this messenger in one post, so here are some more points:
- The ability to edit, softly and completely remove or restore messages;
- Expandable text input with live preview of entered message;
- Full customization of the chat: changing the color, icon, chat title, inviting and removing users from the chat, assigning users as chat moderators;
- An adaptive interface with a collapsible panel with the list of chats
