💬 Open source glitch chat

Hello world! 🌍
I have built (with @code-alt, @martin, @wh0, and other persons) a full chat platform for Glitch. It has many many features, check everything at our docs

It’s very simple. First, go to the opengc.glitch.me.
Then, drag the big yellow button into your bookmarks bar.

To open the chat, on the Glitch editor, click the link you have dragged into your bookmarks bar.

Not understanding? Check our video:


We could only build this with the help of the community. Here are some people that helped:

@_tr → Testing, a lot of contributed code
@code-alt → a lot of contributions, too
@wh0 → Original scripts, moderator, other scripts
@martin → Testing, moderator, project editor
@nobody → moderator, testing
@lajbel → one of the games
@community (including you) → Thanks for all the support related to this project!

You can now chat as a guest without it showing up as null and it looks a bit like this:

In addition, messages will now save even if you disconnect.

Messages will be saved to your localStorage, and are loaded using the project’s name.

However, changing the project’s name will have all the messages deleted though. :frowning:

Oh. Create a bookmark and put this code in it, and click on it in the Glitch Editor.

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.
