Chat for Kanboard

Minimalist internal chat for Kanboard.

• Only one room for all users (small team)
• No one to one chat
• Notification on user mention
• Simplified Markdown rendering
• History of 50 visible messages
• Highlight unread messages
• 3 different views: minimized, normal and maximized
• Auto-flush old messages in database to avoid large table

This is a very basic and minimalist chat extension.

The goal is NOT to replace full-featured traditional chat applications. If you need something more elaborated, you should probably use Slack, Mattermost, RocketChat, Jabber or IRC.
