Embedding Gitter into Nu's Forum Using Gitter Sidecar

[CoinGame]

I feel like having one general chat is better but if having a “forum chat” is desired by the community we can create it. It just splits things up into even more rooms that people have to monitor.

I see you edited your second comment so I’m guessing the z-index change I made fixed it? There will probably be some other issues but we’ll smooth them out over time.

What Nu related color should we make the tab?

Oh and I will eventually move the “open chat” button from it’s current location because it sorta fights for space with the blue navigation thing, but I don’t have the time to tool around with it right now.

Good point. I withdraw my proposal.

It fixed what I was complaining about, yes!

Hidden on mobile, but I’m excited to take a look at it on my desktop later tonight.

Good job @CoinGame!

Yes it’s not on the mobile header html yet, but from what I saw on their website it should work really well on mobile too.

I made it NuShares red. I like the way it pops. What do you all think?

Sweet find, @Sentinelrv! I don’t see it right now, but on the demo site it looks great.

Nice!

Turns out uBlock blocked it for me.

I tried enabling it on mobile but it seemed to break the site. The chat loaded and worked fine, but that was it. No threads. So that’s going to need some more testing, but it should be workable at some point.

how about save the chating history？

As far as I know, the chat history is already saved through Gitter.

[CoinGame]

There’s no way to do a full dump of the history, but it stores all of the chat history. If you scroll up you’ll see it goes all the way back to May 6th when I created the room. If you click the expand icon which takes you to the main chat page you’ll see it has search and many other options. The embedded chat window is limited in the features compared to the main site.

I like the chat button and its placement, but I find the red distracting while trying to read longer posts. I would prefer a more neutral color.

th nubit gold?

I also support NuGold #ffb800

Okay I changed it. I think eventually we’ll just make it a button up at the top somewhere. Maybe a quote bubble icon next to the rest of the icons at the top right. Hopefully this is better for the time being. I still think it’s kinda bright though. I’m traveling at the moment so I don’t know when I’ll be able to update the placement.

I’d like that. The current button is placed behind the navigator on narrower displays (iPad, iPhone), and behind the editor on all my devices.

I think fa-comments is a suitable chat icon.
