 RingMe.js
=====
A library to render a `Ring Me` button on your website. The _best way_ to bring Ring communication to your website!
What is Ring
-----
> Ring is free software for universal communication which respects freedoms and privacy of its users.
[See official Ring website to _join the Ring_](https://ring.cx/)
Communication
-----
The easiest way to [communicate with us is by opening a new issue](https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/ringme.js/issues/new).
Make sure you add proper labels to your issue (e.g. question, issue, enhancement, …)
Usage
-----
### Why you don't need it
This project does nothing other than to propose a default look and feel
for a `Ring Me` button that you can _easily_ add to any Web page.
You could simply choose to not use this Javascript project and add a
link on your page like so:
`Call me with Ring, a communication tool that
respects your freedoms and privacy`
as you would add a link on your page to let your visitors email you:
The magic happens through the Ring client that configures your computer
to handle the `ring:` scheme.
### Why you need it
Since Ring clients are not as widely used as email clients (yet), this
little project helps by identifying if the `ring:` scheme can be handled
by a visitor's computer.
It also proposes a unified look and feel for a `Ring me` button that
will soon be recognizable by visitors.
Installation
-----
This is still in pre-alpha state. No installation process yet and needed
feature in Ring's clients might not yet be available in released branch.
Sure thing though, you should want to use this library from a server
you control and prefer a _self-hosted_ solution on your website instead
of pointing to a CDN in
order to avoid a _call home_ feature that wouldn't necessarily respect
your privacy.
This section will be updated with proper information as soon as this becomes robust and stable.
