By-bye web chat! 🤧 The online IRC <-> Matrix bridge I wanted to use in a website iframe is unusable after all. Anybody knows a way to make #matrix available as webchat?
@mray what do you mean exactly?
There are browser clients of you are referring to that
@sid I'm talking about a chat embedded in a website that anybody can use. Similar to kiwiirc.com or webchat.ircnet.net. So that people can effortless participate in a stream, but in Matrix 
fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@mray that's basically what I wrote matrix-streamchat for, which already kind of works too https://git.pixie.town/f0x/matrix-streamchat
@mray the documentation is rather lacking because i am always busy with different things. It's one webapp, that can be used either as the (embedded) Matrix client for viewers to chat through, or thrown in an OBS web browser view to show just the messages coming in the room.
Basic local install is yarn install && BUDO_BUILD=1 node index.js && node index.js
which will start a webserver hosting all the stuff
@f0x how exactly is the hosted version supposed to be integrated on a website?
@mray oof I think that's unexposed in the main branch right now..
the basic concept is that you can pre-configure various settings through the url, this is used both for an embed (iframe) and obs (browser plugin) to get the right state without interaction. There really has to be GUI to generate those, but as an example here's how the iframe I integrated into owncast works https://github.com/f0x52/owncast/blob/develop/webroot/js/app.js#L746
viewable at https://stream.pixie.town
@mray there's also a room at #streamchat:pixie.town, ill see if I can work at a couple of issues in the next few days
@f0x This looks super exciting. Is there any more documentation? It is not clear to me how to install or run it locally. Or what it actually *is*. "OBS integration for Matrix powered stream chat" sounds just like what I could need. 😃
