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

#javascript #webdev #react #programming

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.

✨ Finally ✨

The extension is now 🔴 Live on Chrome Web Store to be downloaded for chromium based browsers.

👉 Install HitchWeb from here 👈

Let's Talk 💬💬

Let's Join in the dev.to room itself.

This is a small project as of now, that I build all alone by myself. Your support is appreciated 😊

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

Rajesh Joshi • Jun 7 '22

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

Khokon M. • Jun 7 '22

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

Rajesh Joshi • Jun 7 '22

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. • Jun 7 '22

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

Rajesh Joshi • Jun 7 '22

Microphone is required to enter any room.

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

Dominik Gorczyca • Jun 7 '22

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

Ben Sinclair • Jun 8 '22

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 • Jun 8 '22

I can understand.

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

Phani Rithvij • Jun 8 '22 • Edited

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.

Thanks @phanirithvij for the feedbacks.

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

Let's then code together.
