For Developers

Manao supports both session-bound and neutral modes. When a session query parameter is present in the URL, Manao joins that session room. Events available:

Manao receives from server:

• event:start, { filter?: string } — start forwarding chat messages
• event:stop — stop forwarding
• event:send, { message: string } — send a message to chat

Server receives from Manao:

• event:input, { message: string, user: string } — chat message with username
