Convos - Multiuser chat application
Convos is a multiuser chat application that runs in your web browser.
The supported chat protocol is currently IRC, but Convos can be extended to
support other protocols as well.
See convos.chat for more details.
The backend is powered by Mojolicious, while the
frontend is held together by the progressive JavaScript framework
Svelte.
Quick start guide
See "Getting started" for other
options and more information.

That's it! After the two commands above, you can point your browser to
http://localhost:3000 and start chatting.

Branch overview
main
"main" is for
developers. It's mostly stable, but might require extra tools and packages to
run. This branch might have outdated assets (JavaScript, CSS files), so it
might not work properly.
stable
"stable" is the branch you
should use, if you want to clone and run Convos. The JavaScript assets and the
Perl code will be in sync here.
