Choose a task to see where Sockethub fits, what the first request looks like, and which parts of the application you still need to build.

Add IRC and XMPP chat to your web app

Let people join an existing IRC channel or message their XMPP contacts from a web interface you control. Useful for a community chat page or a custom messaging client.

Build a web-based RSS reader

Fetch RSS and Atom feeds that block cross-origin browser requests, then use the parsed entries in a reader or a project news dashboard.

Show link previews in your chat or bookmark app

Turn shared URLs into cards with a title, description, and image. Use the metadata in a conversation, a reading list, or a saved-links collection.

Show upcoming events from an ICS calendar

Read a published calendar link and use its events on a community website or personal dashboard. Your app controls the display and refresh schedule.
