This meeting revolves around the State Changers' discussion about integrating messaging features into their WeWeb application. They explored various platforms and APIs, landing eventually on a Vue.js-based solution provided by ChatKitty.
Topics that arose during their discussion included: 1. Integrating ChatKitty: A primary focus of this meeting was to find a feasible solution for developing a chat interface in the WeWeb application. Anthony, a participant, suggested ChatKitty due to its great documentation and Vue.js compatibility. 2. Concerns about Updates and Maintenance: The last update on the desired Vue component was four months ago, leading to concerns about whether it is still actively maintained. 3. User Experience Risk: The team acknowledged the risk of adopting a feature that has a large impact on the user interface and user experience, especially when dealing with a smaller company which may shift focuses frequently. They also highlighted that taking over out-of-date code can be a complex task. 4. Working with Vue: The group semi-decided to use Vue.js based on their comfort level with the framework and its ability to create custom, interactive elements. 5. Future Plan: They decided to further evaluate the suitability of ChatKitty's Vue component by testing its integration into WeWeb in the upcoming weeks. The meeting addressed a tech stack featuring WeWeb, ChatKitty, Vue.js, and JavaScript, focusing on improving the chat experience within their application, without severing User Experience and maintenance concerns.
