Relay - An extension that adds Discord-style chat to every website

by•
Relay is a browser extension that adds anonymous, live chat to every website, so you can chat with everyone else on the same site. Relay eliminates the gap between browsing the Internet and talking about it.

It`s so amazing app! Thanks! I`m using chat again )) just like 10 years ago )))
Maker
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Cool idea! I think there will need to be a way to focus conversation. Otherwise it will just be a lot of "hi", "hello", "what's up". Unlike a live event or live stream, there isn't a single thing everyone is watching and can comment on Also, the bottom right placement goes over a lot of the site chat icons (intercom, drift, etc)
Maker
That's a great point. Hopefully the "hi"s start to die down after launch day. We'll also break the conversation by path etc. (e.g., subreddit-specific chat) on a case-by-case basis as we grow. As far as the placement, you can drag the button around. You can also toggle Relay's visibility by clicking its icon in the browser menu.
Really fun app and great team! Will be awesome when there's a couple million users.
Maker
Thank you! It's great to have users like you supporting us.
I love this! As someone said in the chat, this could be insane for quick community help. Think Stackoverflow but live chat. Just started the channel on my own website ... Free trails for anyone who cats on there 🎉
Maker
Thank you! Just sent a chat there. Looks like a cool site :D
The idea is amazing! it's a very powerful tool. Are there any restrictions to avoid exposing sensitive data or personal information?
Maker
Thank you! As an anonymous platform, we try to store as little personal information as possible on our end (just email--which we don't verify--and associated IP addresses). If someone leaks personal info in a public chat, we'll do our best to warn them and remove the message.
Such a neat idea Sam! As a community builder this is a huge, game changing tool to connect people across the internet and create even more meaningful conversation around a brand. Absolutely love this idea!
Maker
Thank you for your kind words! Really excited to see the micro-communities that develop from this.
This could potentially change the internet forever. Absolutely love this.
Maker
Thank you! Let's hope so.
Sam, this is really cool! would love to learn how it works and how you built it
Maker
Thanks! Super down to nerd out about the underlying tech. The backend is an Elixir API (Phoenix), which we love for its concurrency and fault-tolerance. The app itself is a React app embedded in an iframe. We did a lot of front-end optimizations to make the extension itself as light as possible given it has to run buttery-smooth on top of every webpage.
This is one of the geniusest (does the word exist?) things i've ever seen. Kudos. I really hope you can make it super viral.
Maker
Thank you! We'll do our best. It certainly helps to have such enthusiastic users :)
Great idea!
Maker
Thank you!
