About
ChatExchange is a node.js API for talking to Stack Exchange chat (Largely based on ChatExchange for python). This is still very much in the works, but currently provides a working API for those who wish to connect to chat and send/receive basic messages.
Currently looking for interested developers who want to provide input and utilize this framework in their apps.
