Looking for a simple way to chat with my kid online.

My oldest daughter is 8 now.

She's learning how to type in school and spends a few hours per week doing some online assignments. Surprisingly,

she's really gotten quite good at typing!

I'm looking for recommendations or suggestions on how I can chat with my daughter via a web app/service or some

Android app. She has a tablet but I would prefer a web app. I don't mind signing up for a free service or something, but would prefer to install on my own server.

Not sure if this is overkill, but it's self-hosted: http://sdelements.github.io/lets-chat/

Or if you want to take a look at meteor / node, something like this: https://www.codementor.io/meteor/tutorial/getting-started-with-meteor-build-sample-app

You can install HipChat on your own server, might be a good option https://www.hipchat.com/server

If not, I would really recommend telegram https://telegram.org/

For an IRC-based solution you can try WeeChat + Glowing Bear https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear

or http://shout-irc.com/

or Quassel web server https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver
