-# README - chatview
-
-The chatview runs under a WebKit GTK view. It is written using web technologies
-(HTML5/CSS3/JS) and is responsible for displaying everything that deals with the
-navbar, the messages, and the message bar.
-
-## Contributing - syntax
-
-We have a set of ESLint rules that define clear syntax rules (web/.eslintrc.json).
-
-You will need the following tools:
-
-- ESLint (The pluggable linting utility for JavaScript and JSX)
-  https://eslint.org/
-- ESLint HTML plugin (eslint-plugin-html)
-  https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-html
-
-Before pushing a patch, make sure that it passes ESLint:
-$ eslint chatview.html
-
-Most trivial issues can be fixed using
-$ eslint chatview.js --fix
-
-We will not accept patches introducing non-ESLint-compliant code.
-
-## WebKit GTK
-
-Everything runs under WebKit GTK, that is if you need to write browser specific
-code, you will only need to support WebKit (CSS -webkit- prefix).
-
-Do not use querySelector if getElementById or getElementByClassName can be used
-instead. querySelector doesn't always make the code easier and has very bad
-performances.
