Wire App for Business is a powerful chat application, with an end-to-end encrypted chat application. The team open sources all client code (server-side code is still not fully open sourced), so we found this to be a good fit for our frontend deployment as a lobby in which we meet our clients.
Unfortunately Wire's activation flow requires people to go through registration. So, in short we identified the following:
+ great UI experience
+ extendability for our specific use case with document and code sharing
+ security - clients know their information is secure
+ control due to open-source
- no sign-in flow for guests
- userbase that poorly overlaps with business users (our customers are not on it)
- UI with lots of unnecessary extra features
Let users login through company-issued credentials. When users become familiar with the interface--only then suggest them to create a new user.
- Caura's Lease Manager for managing guest credentials (you would need to build your own)
- Wire's hosted server (they've not open sourced it entirely)
- Full experience on wire.caura.co also includes a Caura Bot
- It's a fork. It has all the problems of a fork...
- Loading times are slow. This appears to be mostly due to loopbacks with Wire's authentication
- No personalized experience (i.e. alias names for guest users)
Run yarn start or yarn start_dev and Wire's web app will be available at:
localhost:8888/auth/#login
Run yarn start_prod and Wire's web app will be available via dist directory. The server setup (nginx/apache) is not in the build.
