About ApeTail Communication System

From the official readme · v2.0.0

Description

We all love chatting and use Telegram, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Discord, Slack. Why not discuss contents of web-pages in the form of chatting? In modern days we can only use some commenting plugins. Discussion in a chat under post is innovation. Some says it is more convenient and more alive then comments.

🆙 ApeTail replaces usual comments with an advanced chatting system.

▶️Features:

✅ Main public chat for a web project and custom chats, which can be generated automatically under articles or in interface by admins
✅ Channels, where in the main thread only admins can post. Users can reply to posts and establish sub-context messaging
✅ Personal (direct) chats among users. Put the button titled “Talk to website owner” on the web page which directs to the chat with person
✅ Chat with rated messages allow participants to “like” messages and they are sorted by the most liked on the top
✅ Twitter-like stream with filters which lets follow related categorized messages from many sources
✅ AI Agents which let users to ask questions and receive answers which AI qualitatively finds. Admins can follow and participate in such chats and quickly replenish the QA database by answering user’s questions with direct replies
✅ Have group conversations with @ChatGPT. Support context and prompt suggestions
✅ Innovative for chats ability to reply directly to messages, creating individual branches. This brings more structure oriented communication amplifying sub-contexts of a chat
✅ Attach images, video and file to a message
✅ Forwarding messages
✅ Fast “guest” registration with 1 click (actually it is a full registration as a user, but simplified)
✅ Notifications everywhere let’s keep things alive
✅ Stamping emoticons on messages, like in Discord/Telegram
✅ Be admin of your host, delegate admin rights which allow you to create chats/channels, to ban and unban users, delete host messages
✅ Many commands to manage things

▶️ Chat trigger button

ApeTail offers a fixed trigger button with unread messages notification which opens the widget frame on top of the page’s content accessing to the Lobby chat/channel, direct chat with user (maybe with owner’s of the web site), to AI Agent or to customly created chat/channel. Such button is located on any page).

▶️ Under post

ApeTail offers messaging area under post; if not specified, chat name will be the same as title of the page. If you set rating:true , participants will be able to rate/like messages, so they appear sorted by rating.

▶️ The Network

All ApeTail widgets are united to one network. If a user signed up to ApeTail in one web site, they will have their setting on other websites where ApeTail is installed. And, of course, can communicate to users directly who use ApeTail on other web sites and see followed/subscribed chats stream messages from other web sites.

▶️ Engagement

ApeTail may boost discussions of posts contents, attracting users from other websites. Discussion participants can mention their friends by nickname; mentioned users are receiving notification and can jump to target chat/channel quickly.
