Elbot's Chat Box

A demo is available as a heroku app at: https://chatwithelbot.herokuapp.com/

Elbot is an eloquent and witty bot developed by Artificial Solutions. Didn't like much its original UI so I implemented my own using React and Redux.

Run this project locally

Although a demo is available as a Heroku app you might want to run this project locally.

In the project directory, you can run:

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

TODO

• Turn it into a PWA with push notifications, so Elbot will send you messages when you least expected (or when you most need it).
• Deploy to Heroku.
• Integrate several other bots.
• Support to message-embbeded html tags, sometimes Elbot responds with some HTML.
• Enhance palette
• Write tests
