Hi 👋 ProductHunt!
There are a lot of great chat platforms out there. Smallchat is different in one way: we built it for the little guys. The freelancer. The local business. The small team launching a side project here on ProductHunt.
That means Smallchat has a free tier with no limits on the number of visitors, conversations, contacts, or operators. Your bill shouldn't go up if your site gets a wave of traffic (i.e. from ProductHunt) or a new member joins your team.
We use Slack's new threads feature to keep all your conversations in one channel, so Smallchat doesn’t clutter up your Slack team with a bunch of new channels.
Smallchat's just getting started, so leave a comment if you have any feedback or advice on what features should be highest priority on our roadmap.

I've been beta testing Smallchat on my site (timothybuck.me) for a few weeks now. It's super simple to add in Squarespace (just copy/paste the snippet into the code injection header textbox), and I was able to customize it to look nice with my site.
Full Disclosure: I was involved with the launch and marketing of Smallchat.

@robertgonzal_ Love the concept of integrating this into Slack. My question is whether you offer support for multiple channels? In the pro tier it says "multiple sites". Does that allow me to customize the channel each site sends messages to?

@krynsky @robertgonzal_ Hi Mark, Aeryk here. The Pro Tier does allow for multiple channels. So if you wanted one channel for `pricing` and another for `support` you could :)

@aerykpayne @robertgonzal_ thanks. That's helpful. So is the channel a variable we can set from the embed code?

@krynsky @robertgonzal_ sort of, any time you create a new channel smallchat will generate a unique embed script for you. So you'd just add that script to whatever pages you'd want that channel to chat with.
