   Good tool to improve personal skills and apply in university project !

   I am currently in college and have been using Botstar for over 1 year. For me, learning how to use this platform is quite easy and combined with the promotion, the price is reasonable for students. Thanks to BotStar, I was able to apply chatbot to some SMBs and clubs on campus, thereby developing my relationships and skills.

   🏁 Competitors: Chatfuel, Botbanhang

   👍 Pros:    The price of the pro version is good|Dashboards make it easy for me to review, edit, or update.

   👎 Cons:    It would be great if there were more tutorials and examples of complex, advanced flow chatbots to learn from.

   Love it ! Now I have more time, better mood to improve to product & service quality.

   Pretty good for my business budget. The application of chatbot has helped me reduce a burden when I no longer have to do the same things over and over again.

   🏁 Competitors: ManyChat, Botsify

   👍 Pros:    Having average knowledge about coding and intergrations would help you come up with many potential things.|Can create basic calculations from which to calculate money, total bill.

   👎 Cons:    Need more example of advance tool like api or coding stuff.

   👎 Cons:    Unless you have an intensive knowledge of coding, you will not be able to spoil all further applicable features of that chatbot

• Lua: The Little Language That Could

  There's also the http://prosody.im/ XMPP server that's written in Lua, and it's very successful there. The other major XMPP server implementation is in Erlang and they are equally praised, so that should tell something about Lua's versatility. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Lua: The Little Language That Could

  Lua on its own right can be fun too! If you are looking for a project to contribute to, there's for instance the Prosody XMPP server that's written in it, and contributes to the betterment of internet by promoting federated protocols. Source: 12 months ago

• A History of Lua

  You can write largish standalone application in Lua and it is not always a poor choice - Prosody [1] first comes to mind. But qualities which make it a good embedded language make it less _attractive_ for other uses. Lua has very simple syntax and small stdlib which allows its implementation to be very small - you can add Lua to your application and not increase its size significantly. But when the size is not a... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Chat app to allow messaging between my daughter and I?

  If you are really set on a LAN-only setup you could look at Prosody (combined with an Android app such as Conversations) which Snikket is based upon. It's not as "ready to go, out of the box" as Snikket and therefore requires a slightly higher skill level, but in exchange it is a lot more customizable and adaptable to different kinds of deployment scenarios.

• Ask HN: What is your recommended stack for real time chat?

  My choice, because it's the stack I know very well, would be Prosody ( https://prosody.im/ - I'm one of the devs) and a web client such as Converse.js ( https://conversejs.org/ ). XMPP is highly extensible, Prosody is highly modular, which make them a good foundation for building on top of. That said, the right stack is generally the one that matches your requirements, and (if this isn't primarily a learning... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Live chat options for a landing page

  Take a look at BotStar. Can be set up with a full-page interface. You can use it for basic live chat, or you can create very feature-rich automation flows that integrate directly with your other systems. Source: about 3 years ago
