What is Motylo? It's a chat website that has hosting requirements at the bare minimum (I designed and tested the site on free hosting before moving to a paid host.) It uses polling instead of websockets, though in order to enable voice chat you'll have to make a Pusher account (free).
You can make a private voice chat room simply by sharing your own code with a friend (https://motylo.xyz/voice.php?code=MAKEYOURSELFACODE)

Edit config.php to include your own database details, and if you use voice chat, pusher credentials. Then upload all the files and folders (including empty folders).
Finally, you just need to edit the database to have the necessary structure, you should be able to import the sql file (database.sql). You will need to edit the file (You can turn it into a text file) and change the database name to your own.
If you plan to use push notificiations, once again, just edit config.php with your credentials.
One that's done, you just need a friend!
This project is made possible with chatgpt coding. I'm unfortunately quite terrible at writing my own php at the moment.
