Shore

The web frontend for Holt Chat, a self-hostable, end-to-end encrypted chat platform.

---

Shore is a static, dependency-free client. No bundler, no build step, no npm install. It's served directly by the Keel backend, or by any static host pointed at a Keel instance.

Running it

Point a Keel instance's config.toml at this checkout:

[frontend]
    hosted=true
    frontend_directory="../Shore"

Keel will then serve Shore directly. Just edit the files and reload.
