Feedback wanted: OSS alternative to videsk.io, uptok.com, or glia.com

In October, I did a 30-day challenge to build Goodtok, a video
communication platform, as an OSS alternative to uptok.com. That was
my way of celebrating Hacktoberfest. I later found that several
companies offer similar solutions, so now I wonder if there is space
in the market for an OSS alternative.

TLDR;  → [https://goodtok.io](https://goodtok.io/)

Goodtok is currently in version v0.1.10 and comes with the following
features:

* Easy-to-install video widget (3-4 lines of code)
* A dashboard with a queue ☑️ A workspace for collaboration (invite
your staff)
* Hours of operations to show the “online/offline” status widget
* Real-time events for queue status
* An SDK-first approach

And more!

I will likely continue developing and maintaining Goodtok, as it's a
problem set I’m passionate about. However, I would love to hear from
folks who have used tools like this in the past. Have you ever wished
something like this was available for self-hosting?

Congratulations on the release. I saw a demo on Twitter, but didn't
see a chat feature. Are you only doing video?

Yes, live chat and chatbots are definitely on my mind. In fact, I'm
thinking of adding chat functionality along with widget customization.
