Walk-ins

No backend, no tokens, no accounts anywhere. Omit the token and every visitor gets an identity on the fly — a numbered name and a face, renameable from the island. The stream-chat shape.

<script src="https://huddles.space/embed.js"></script>
<script>Huddles.init({ embedder: 'your-app-id' });</script>

Who a visitor is#

Their identity anchors to the partitioned cookie: the same browser on the same site is the same visitor tomorrow; a cleared cookie is a new person, which is the honest meaning of anonymous. They have no verified address, so no friend edges — the same rule every guest in Huddles lives by.

Off by default, on deliberately. Walk-ins change who may exist: anyone who can load your page becomes a member of your space. Enable anonymous on the app when that is what you want. Requests are rate-limited per IP — it is the one embed route behind neither a signature nor a session.

The hybrid#

The polished end state: start everyone as a walk-in, and once they log in to your platform, call Huddles.init with a real token. They become a stable person without losing the room they are standing in.
