This is our project for hack.UVA 2014! We're turning every website you visit into a place, so when you visit a site it's like walking into a room. Upon visiting a website, you'll automatically be joined in a chat with everybody else who's visiting that website.
- On any page you visit, you can hover over the bottom-right corner of your screen to open a chat with others on the same page! You will be chatting with anybody on the same top-level domain.
- Press the icon in the Chrome menu (top-right) to open up the settings, where you can change your nickname.
- Any messages you write will be seen by anybody else currently in the room, and will last for 15 minutes.
- If you preface a message with ":leave ", it's a graffiti message and will be kept for 24 hours and displayed to anybody who enters the room! This is a way of saying "I was here". You are only allowed one graffiti message at a time per page.
- See the 'build' folder for installation detials.
- If you want to work with our code, see package.json for a list of requirements/dependencies.
