Add-on Rocket.chat (a very cool new OpenSource A/V Chat) - Integration for XF?

[nocte]

Rocket.chat is a very cool new Chat with A/V Features. Just check out dem demo: https://demo.rocket.chat/

Anyone interested in programming an integration for XF?

Did this ever go anywhere? I'm looking for something similar in that I want a Xenforo install to serve as the login system for a Rocket.Chat server. It should be possible to use XF 2.1's new API system with Rocket.Chat's newish iframe-based authentication integration to achieve this but I honestly don't know enough about APIs to figure out to figure out the settings myself.

Thanks for question. I have started a private conversation for more information.

I ditched Rockt.Chat, so I cannot help you.

What did you end up going with?

I like Rocket.chat. I host it on my Synology NAS via Docker.

Mattermost is another fine alternative.

Hello,

No, I've never tried, because I don't need it connected with XF.

Currently I know no good real-time chat with (nearly) seamless XF-integration possible. e.g. Rocket.Chat: it has it's own user management, which makes things tricky.

A good (but not performant) solution is Siropu's Chat - fully XF-integrated (i.e. a XF addon ), but no AV and only AJAX/PHP/MySQL, so poor performance on bigger forums..
