Ami

Chat client forked from the original Sock Chat client. Maintained for compatibility with Firefox 10+ and similar browsers.

Configuration

Configuration consists of a .env file that contains the various URLs and a default chat title (the unified one is taken from whatever the remote common.json supplies). The defaults supplied by build.js are what are used for the production instance. Make sure you modify them as needed!

Building

Ami uses a build script written in Node.js and a Makefile to make life easier. I recommend using something like nvm with a Node version of at least v22.14.0 (LTS).
