NodeBB Public Chat?

[yeehi]

NodeBB has private, 1-to-1 chats.

Is it also possible to have chat more like a public square, where everybody can see and hear the chat, and anybody can jump into the chat too?

How do we do that?

@pitaj Thanks for creating that, @PitaJ If you have a few moments some time, could you please include a screenshot of the nodebb-plugin-global-chat in action, to help people quickly get an idea of what it is?

@yeehi It looks like the global chat plugin just adds a global chat room using the existing chat UI, so there is nothing new there.
