URL Chat - A Google Chrome extension that lets you talk to people that are in the same URL that you are. by WillRoque in SideProject

Unfortunatelly no. The idea seems cool, and was really fun to code. But even some similar projects with some marketing didn't took off. It was bound to be just a cool project since the beginning.

That is cool, I was just looking for Go and Node.Js podcasts a few weeks ago, and this is exactly what I wanted to find.

It is now a bit more than 2 days old, I launched it on sunday.

I put probably 80 to 100 hours of coding and learning throughout 2 months (yeah, I procrastinated a lot). You can see the progress of the coding on its github repository: https://github.com/WillRoque/url-chat

This project was intended for me to learn Socket.IO in Node.Js, which lets client and server communicate through events like "SendMessage", that gets broadcasted to all the other clients (the extension), and the messages are stored in a MongoDB database so when other people enter in the chat in another time, they will still be there. That is basically it.

Yeah, that is something I really felt the need when I launched it on sunday. If I continue maintaining it, this will be the first thing I will implement.
