Add Discord chat to your website using Booper
Booper is a browser-based tool that lets website owners place Discord-powered chat directly on their pages. The widget is designed to be easy to customize and visually engaging, so visitors can participate in live conversations without leaving the site. Small touches like emoji reactions and smooth scrolling help make interactions feel natural and inviting.
Quick installation outline
Follow these main steps to get the chat running:
- Install the Booper bot on your Discord server.
- Link your website to the Discord server.
- Pick the channel you want to expose on your site.
- Integrate Booper’s React component into your front end.
Core capabilities
Key behaviors and UI elements include:
- Emoji reactions and other visual feedback for messages.
- Automatic refreshing of the interface to surface new content.
- Scrollable message history so users can review past conversations.
- Sending and receiving messages in real time.
Framework support and styling
Although Booper is particularly convenient for projects using React (it ships with a ready-to-use React library), the chat widget can be adapted to most web stacks. Styling is handled with Tailwind CSS, giving the widget a contemporary appearance that’s easy to tweak to match your site’s design.
