Show HN: Chat app with Hubot – hubot-chat (opens in new tab)

I've always thought it was weird that Hubot never had its own chat system. So I built one with it.

hubot-chat is a chat application you can spin up instantlyish with:

npx hubot --create myhubot -a @hubot-friends/hubot-chat cd myhubot npm start

to host a private, ephemeral conversation with a small group where Hubot is the system and chat is the UI.

And it was built using VS Code and Copilot (GPT-5.2-Codex).
