Show HN: Turn your website console into a chat that connects website visitors

Make it like IRC, I'd often pop open my console just to have some dev chats.

I've been throwing my open source projects API requirements on Firebase Functions these days.

It just works, has no down time and relatively cheap.

I started looking into the requests/responses, and I found something cool in the HTTP response headers that was something along the lines of "If you are reading this, please consider applying to work at our company".

One other instance of this is a company here that posted an opening for software developers. The page was blank, so naturally I opened the console to see what's wrong. There were comments in the page that said "Congratulations, you passed the first step. To get the link of the page, please decode this message in Morse and send us the code you used to do that". I didn't write any code because I was familiar with Morse code, so I got the link directly.

I was contacted by their CTO shortly after. I had already been hired in the meantime (by another CTO at another company and they knew each other apparently). I told him I found it pretty cool and interesting. He said that very few people found the link and applied.

These things can be fun.

It would be really useful if this could group messages by the canonical URL from where the message was sent and then be logged elsewhere. Especially if it could be extended to annotate or refer to parts of the page, so that with some further tooling you could view the log and click through directly to a particular part of site in a development environment.
