  • Synapse

    Discontinued Synapse: Matrix homeserver written in Python/Twisted.

  • I know of matrix.org and they would support everything with rooms etc. but I do not need Federation etc. In fact I do not need a whole lot of stuff that matrix offers, it seems overkill to me. Also I am really struggling with their docs and integration possibilities. The chat is not the main part of the app, this should be simple and integratable with the already existing backend. In fact, it could be called from the proprietary existing app backend so it wouldn't even have to care about authentication etc.

  • Socket.io

    Realtime application framework (Node.JS server)

  • https://socket.io/ would probably do the trick for you.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
