This helped so much, and will contribute a lot towards the future of G4U. 67.2K views and 18K people needing a chatting platform, I hope it can hold that many people on our website and I hope it doesn't crash the website as it did before!

Oh awesome! I see the embed on your site. Thanks for using Chitchatter!

The app should scale well because it's primarily a client-side system. So, it's pretty light on server resources. 🙂

Thank you, Jeremy! We’ve struggled with site safety communications because contractors and supplier employees won’t sign up for software. A no-login system is the only workaround. Emailing safety circulars is inefficient—mailing lists constantly change, and messages often fail to reach frontline workers on-site.

I’ve been looking for a lightweight chat solution to integrate into site-specific websites for sharing safety updates with all visitors and staff. This solves our problem perfectly. Thank you!
