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.


Feedbacks ✨

Feedbacks are welcomed, as this is an early release, it is going to crash a lot, you may find a lot of bugs here.

Support 😇

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


Contact me 💬

If you have any feedback, bug report or any concern drop an email to me at info.rajeshj3@gmail.com


Spamming? 👺

This is our dev community, let's not do the bad stuff here, I request every one not to create any mess.

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

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

      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.

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

          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.
            Khokon M.Jun 7, 2022

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

            • Rajesh Joshi
              Rajesh JoshiJun 7, 2022

              Microphone is required to enter any room.

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

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

                  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.

                    I can understand.

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

    Nice!

    A few things:

    • Text chat feature
    • 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.
