Lightweight, zeroconfig self-hosted real-time chat with no user accounts

Webfreeglobal

chat is a simple, plug-and-play, self-hosted real-time chat built with Socket.io requiring no user accounts — just a nickname and a single room, with no configuration. It supports file sharing without storing data on the server and an optional message cache for reconnecting users, aimed at people who want the simplest possible self-hosted chat room.
