Has anyone here implemented Chat functionality using Weweb & Xano? In your opinion what is the best approach? Do I need to use an external service? I have fairly simple requirements. I need to allow team members to have a single chat string (normally ~ 10 members per team). But it will need to scale as I’m building a multi-tenant SAAS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ---

I’ve seen [Ably](https://ably.com/) mentioned in a few places. Xano has a few resources and threads on using it. ---

I try to start with a big lego before rolling my own. WOuld a third-party service with an SDK do the job? Like [Amity.co](http://Amity.co) or [Minnit.chat](https://minnit.chat)? I don’t have first-hand experience with either vendor, but exploring them might give you insight as to how you might solve the problem more cheaply than rolling your own using something as low-level as a relay like Ably. ---

How did you set up the realtime on weweb side? I am doing exactly the same, weweb as front and XANO as backend using ably to real time. ---

I once did a live chat implementation with FlutterFlow and Supabase following [this tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB4C-h3GqHQ). I’ll go for the same approach using WeWeb and Supabase Realtime. If anyone is interested in the finished solution let me know. Don’t know when i’ll finish it tho. ---

Would love an update on this when you have one! ---

I haven’t done anything on this yet - I have it at the end of my build schedule cause it’s a nice to have rather than must for launch. I did look at Minnit.chat and it seems like it might work for me - and you can embed it in Weweb via web viewer (iframe?). and you can hide the Minnit branding. I recommend you check that out… ---

Xano will implement the realtime feature really soon, imo the best thing is to wait ---

You can do this already with WeWeb and Supabase, but it’s hard, because you have to manipulate the realtime subscriptions when you switch chats. A new Supabase Plugin version by @Alexis is said to release soon, so it’s gonna be very easy with the new version to make a Chat. You could make Supabase and Xano work together as well, but would require some tinkering. Just to add: I made it work with this version of Supabase too, so it’s definitely possible. @jptrinh did also a proof of concept. ---

Any update on the right way to implement real time chat using Xano and weweb ? I’ve just seen this video and I’m quite curious about the right methodology to impletement a chat using weweb as a front end.

Any chance you made any progress on this, Totzy?
