## About Scrollback

Scrollback is a beautiful, open source text chat service designed for communities.

Scrollback hosts rooms which you can embed into any webpage and link it with Twitter hashtags or IRC channels. A room brings together a long-lived, interactive community that is stickier and more engaging than any forum system. Different sites use Scrollback to turn visitors into a friendly community. Scrollback believes that people who chat stay longer and return more often. At differnt events, Scrollback has allowed attendees to network more freely, share anecdotes related to the talks and have extended QA with speakers. Scrollback can be a friendly portal to your IRC channel. Projects like Mozilla put their IRC channel on their website using Scrollback, so that visitors truly learn why it is called an open-source community. We're a team of developers who got tired of IRC. New chat systems have been appearing for the past 20 years, but they are all built for one-to-one or private conversations in small groups. Open communities, on the other hand, are larger and public by default. These communities form around open source projects, consumer brands, sports teams, entertainment franchises and many more. They need different tools. IRC is one - it is the great grand-daddy of social text chat - but it predates the web and mobile, and most users find it hopelessly complex and archaic. Scrollback is a modern, beautifully designed platform for open communities to converse. It combines the lessons learned from IRC with the ease-of-use of an embeddable web app and the power of a cloud service.
