I'm not really sure what's special about this. Instead of showing chat messages in an element on the page, they are emitted via console.log().

- Waterluvian 7y agoI think there's a cuteness of it being hidden in the console. Who knows what site might have secret chat! I think it's also an attempt at early web nostalgia.
- mhh__ 7y agoIt's not special but I did have quite a lot of fun pretending to be osama bin laden (and richard stallman)
- sergiomattei 7y agoIt's nothing fascinating engineering wise. It's just clever and interesting to see. It's a cool toy project people can play with. I'm surprised nobody ever did it before. It's so clever.
- molmalo 7y agoI wouldn't say nobody ever did it before... as it's not something incredibly novel... but it's still fun. For example, while playing Airmash (an web game posted here around Dec 2017, now dead but another implementation still exists in starma.sh ), some of us were using a private chat (it used websocket though)... and this chat could be loaded and used via the console from any site....
