Very cool. I'm working on a service that add apps to my email inbox. Is there a way you think we could self host this and create accounts / link accounts automatically for our users? I'd love to have an irc client that can run in an iframe and I'd access it by clicking a tab.
I would very much like this as well, but "kiosk" mode is currently not planned. Might start consider it again after https://github.com/Nordaaker/convos/issues/414 is closed... Please do open an issue where you describe what you think is required for Convos to work from within your email inbox, or join #convos on freenode and have a chat with us.
Perfect! I just replied to the issue too. We don't even need email auth. As long as there's a way to login / create a user in the back, we can handle auth.
The next version of Convos (which will hopefully be released this week) adds support for LDAP, which might also help you manage users.
You can have a look at our issue tracker for what is planned for the future versions of Convos: https://github.com/nordaaker/convos/milestones
I will soon update the webpage with a longer list of features: https://github.com/Nordaaker/convos/issues/445
