Note: Glitch Chat has been archived due to the lack of interest and multiple severe security vulnerabilities. A new version completely rewritten might come out soon.
Hi there! Me and @code-alt, @martin, @wh0, and other people have built a fully working chat platform for the Glitch editor, using the built-in “OT protocol”. It has tons of features and is based on wh0’s original chat script.
How to use
First, go to the opengc.glitch.me. Then, drag the big yellow button into your bookmarks bar. To open the chat, open the editor on the project you want to chat on and click the link that you just dragged.
If you don’t see the bookmarks bar, press ctrlshiftb

@community (including you) → Thanks for all the support related to this project!
just tried it. and it looks amazing! i really like the concept of this. if its okay with you (and everyone else who worked on this), could i use the part of your code that saves and loads the messages?
Hi y’all! The collaboration on this through the long weekend and today was really cool to witness, so thanks for not only building it, but sharing the process and working with each other so well!
I am going to have to bear some potentially bad news here, though: this surfaced that we had recently, unintentionally introduced a content security policy change that could potentially be used for harm. A change for that has just been deployed to ensure the security of everyone in the editor, and unfortunately that may break this work.
At the very least, the team and I had a great discussion today about how we should start thinking about ways to make the editor a safe place for the community to build upon, like you all did with this chat app. All I can offer you now are stickers (@_tr@code-alt@wh0@Martin - email your address to me directly jenn@glitch.com if you’re interested), but hopefully in the future we can offer an actual rad developer experience extending the editor and more.
