I just added a new feature to Chitchatter that I'm really excited about!
If you haven't seen it before, Chitchatter is an open source web app that instantly enables private, anonymous communication between people. Once connected you can easily chat, share audio and video, and transfer files. All communication is encrypted and peer-to-peer.
The feature I just added is chat room embedding. Much like a YouTube video, you can now embed a Chitchatter room into any web app. Here's a demo of an embedded Chitchatter room being loaded via CodePen:
To create your own embedded chat room: Go to https://chitchatter.im/, enter a room name (or use the unique default), and click "Get embed code." Copy and paste the presented code snippet into your HTML code and you're done.
That's it! Happy chatting. 🙂

This helped so much, and will contribute a lot towards the future of G4U. 67.2K views and 18K people needing a chatting platform, I hope it can hold that many people on our website and I hope it doesn't crash the website as it did before!

Oh awesome! I see the embed on your site. Thanks for using Chitchatter!
The app should scale well because it's primarily a client-side system. So, it's pretty light on server resources. 🙂
Thanks!
Great, thank you :-)
