React Help Desk: Free open-source live chat assistant for your website
React Help Desk is an open source live chat application that comes with an administrative control panel that lets you manage multiple chats. The control panel written with React, Node.js, and web sockets.
React Help Desk offers a real-time support system with a simple interface which allows you to communicate with many clients at the same time.
Created by Jason Gallagher, a web developer with 20 years of experience, who created it for his personal use and currently using it at his website.
