Suprised no one has yet brought up the obvious comparison to campfirenow.com and hipchat.com. While being free and self host-able is nice, the Candy UI seems light years behind its for pay competitors.

But I'm glad to see more options available. I've been advocating web-based chat in my offices for quite a while now, and am happy that a few decent choices have finally started to pop up in the past couple years.

I agree it would be better if they just focused on this being used for building chat into apps, rather than being ready out of the box as a chat widget.

The good thing about Candy: You can extend it with plugins and customize the interface, both very easy. If you'd like more features - do it!
