Integrating Mercurychat (into other platforms):

Things to Note:

  • Mercury Chat database is centralized at the moment. The team will look for solutions in the future

  • The team is very open to ideas and take community feedback. Needs to be seen if feedback is implemented.

  • The UX/UI is slightly rough (small typos & ease of use) since the team is focusing on building functionality at the moment

  • The team has kept the rodamap and timeline open for the time being

  • Personally I'd recommend the app for individuals and platforms as long as personal/sensitive information is not shared
