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

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.

The animations are super smooth and eye catching , what’d you use to make them ?
Sam Winter
@james_lu123 Thank you! Everything is CSS animations except for the star spin, for which we used react-motion. Wanted to keep the project as lightweight as possible.

Does the chat work cross platform , meaning someone on chrome can chat with someone of edge or Firefox.
Sam Winter
@jackphannon Yes it does! And we're working to add Safari in the near future.

Just tried this and it's pretty awesome,! Insane no one else has thought about this before, congratulations to the creator! I've just used it out to ask few questions while doing my expense reports and it's pretty awesome!
Sam Winter
@brunocapezzali thank you! I'm glad you're already finding the app useful.

Love it, it's like Yakalike (https://lifehacker.com/download-...) from 15 years ago. Only thing I dislike is that there's no guest mode..
Sam Winter
@ronyfadel Thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely study Yakalike. We'll consider adding guest mode. Could be pretty powerful to lower the barrier to chat.
Sam Winter
@lif_ted agreed, social login will become especially important as we start to build out profiles.
Brian Dean
Very cool! It's like portable Discord chat.
Sam Winter
@backlinko that's a great way to describe it. Glad you're enjoying!

This is incredible - so many use cases! Can’t wait to see how it grows. What’s your plan to monetize?
Sam Winter
@bennycondon thank you! Same here. We can monetize in at least a couple of different ways. We can sell digital goods to end users, and to website owners, we can sell tools for lead generation, engagement, support, etc. There are still a lot of specifics to be determined, but that's what we're thinking so far.

Super cool idea!
Sam Winter
@parag_r thank you! I'm super excited to see where it goes.

This is awesome. Kinda reminds me of The Nethernet (http://pmog.com/) game. Curious to see where this goes!
Sam Winter
@avongenesis thank you! I didn't even know about that game. It looks super cool. Going to do some more research on it to see if there are any lessons to be gleaned.
Jay Mc
Awesome idea. Would also be nice if it could be embedded on to a site without the extension.
Sam Winter
@jay_mc thank you! I totally agree. We plan to make Relay available as a script tag in the nearish future, so all visitors of a site can chat on that site.
