Hitchweb! Browser Extension🧩, Talk to people on same website 🤩

Recently, I wrote a post Talk to people who are on the same site 🌎 | Chrome Extension. Where I talked about an extension for chromium based browsers.

Installed, but seems like, not working properly for me. As I can't join, it just keeps loading.

[Rajesh Joshi]

Your may check the console, share the errors to me on my email.

[Khokon M.]

Token obtained
connected to room dev.to
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Requested device not found

[Rajesh Joshi]

This might be an permission issue with the microphone.

Does your device have mic?
Is mic working?
Reset permissions to the site/extension.

It should work.

[Khokon M.]

No, my device doesn't have a mic, nor did the extension asked for a microphone permission.

[Rajesh Joshi]

Microphone is required to enter any room.

Meanwhile, you can use the web version: hitchweb.netlify.app/

[Dominik Gorczyca]

It would be good if there was an option to just chat, not having to use microphone

[Ben Sinclair]

Indeed, the posts say, "talk to" people but we're (I'm) used to that meaning text chat. It doesn't seem to mention voice chat.

[Rajesh Joshi]

I can understand.

No worries buddy, I'll introduce this feature soon.

[Yash]

wait its voice chat, u should add text chat

[Rajesh Joshi]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add this in the future.

[Phani Rithvij]

A few things:

• Text chat feature
  • eg. github.com/utterance/utterances
  • support markdown optionally
• Moderation tools (kind of required)
• Seperate text and voice chats like in discord.
• Instead of global site wide rooms have individual rooms for urls
  • For example on youtube, each per video
  • account for hash routes or specific query params in url
  • can also have a global room per site
• Allow to join in even without microphone permission to just listen.
• Make it open source?
  • It will make your life easier and make it more secure.
  • Even if you feel like abandoning it someone will fork and pick it up and credit your name.

[Rajesh Joshi]

Thanks @phanirithvij for the feedbacks.

Few things were already in the TODO list. But, you definitely suggested more things.

Let's then code together.

[Medea]

This is really cool! What language did you use to make this?

[Rajesh Joshi]

❤️ JavaScript 😉

[Medea]

Wow okay

[Spandan]

Nice efforts. It's a nice extension with good concept. I will surely install it and recommend it to others.
Keep it up.

[Rajesh Joshi]

Thanks @spandyboss
This really mean a lot to me ❤️

[Vic]

Nice!

[Liviu Lupei]

Installed and also wrote a positive review.
Well done!

[Rajesh Joshi]

Thank you @liviufromendtest ❤️

[Gpet]

Hi, how about if there are hundreds of persons inside the page and talking together, what do you think about that ? is there are no problem about that ?

[Rajesh Joshi]

At the max, 5 people can talk together. 3000 people can be in a room.

[Veeresh]

Hey, is it possible to open an extension in the same website, I don't want to redirect to another website when I click.

[Rajesh Joshi]

That is possible, but this is just another way, I implemented in.

May be in future, I'll provide an option to open in a window.

[Gpet]

Wow, I think this is very helpful, thanks man.

[Rajesh Joshi]
