Our immediate plan is to provide great native apps for mobile and desktop that will use our proprietary protocol. We like to think of LeChat as "Dropbox of chats", you never leave your conversation as you move between desktop, web and mobile devices. Gateways for XMPP and IRC are further down our list and are more on API/integrations side.

Interesting, I can see how that would be useful, although some of that is already working using XMPP (Google Talk, really).

Is there a way to be notified when you have XMPP integration? Most of our dev tools integrate with it[1][2] and having some of those notifications(build failure, issue fixed) stream into a common area would be very cool.

Edit: wrt/ YouTrack, it doesn't support group chats yet(see http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JT-18866).

Sure, if you sign up we are sending announcements about new features.

Dev tools integration is our big focus. So far we have GitHub, BitBucket, CloudForge and Airbrake plus raw HTTP and direct email address for each chat room. One of our customers created a Ruby Gem [1].

I would be a possible customer for this. I use Campfire today, and I looked at your homepage and it looks very similar... can you give some points on which this is different/improved? Thanks!

Major differences:

- We strive to have the best history search experience. As-you-type very vast search that does not obstruct you conversation view.

- We want to enable having more than one concurrent conversation without needing to constantly switch between tabs.

- We want to provide state-of-the-art API and integration with tools you are using.
