Welcome to the official Audio Campfires open source archive.
This code is being openly released on audiocampfires.com and is available for anyone to use, study, modify and build upon.
Audio Campfires demonstrates how username-free live conversations can be created using a lightweight web application and server.
The server can be run from a local PC for development and testing or deployed to a VPS (Virtual Private Server) for public use.
Low-cost VPS hosting plans can run large numbers of campfires while keeping operating costs low.
Audio Campfires does the rest.
This software is provided free of charge.
You may use, modify, distribute, fork and build upon the code.
The software is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.
Users are responsible for their own hosting, moderation, security, compliance and deployment decisions.
Audio Campfires was created around a simple idea:
People should be able to join a live conversation without creating accounts, usernames or passwords.
Open a campfire.
Click to join.
