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.by for more details.

The backend is powered by Mojolicious, while the frontend is held together by the progressive JavaScript framework Vue.

curl https://convos.by/install.sh | sh -
./convos/script/convos daemon;

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

Note that to register, you need a invitation code. This code is printed to screen as you start convos:
