+ - Work well on desktop as well as mobile browsers
+ - UI components can be easily used in isolation
+ - It is a standalone webapp, but can also be easily embedded into an existing website/webapp to add chat capabilities.
+ - Loading (unused) parts of the application after initial page load should be supported

 ## Status
