vstalk

Visual Studio Talk. A VSCode extension allowing to chat with a random developper around the world

Usage

Use the "Start talking" command from the palette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) to start a chat. You will be asked :

• An adress for the sever. Leave blank to use the default server. If you want to create and host a custom server, see the server section.
• A username for the session.

You will then connect to the server and shorlty be connected to anyone else looking to chat.

Server

VStalk default server is wss://vstalk-serv.herokuapp.com/. However, you can easiliy build and host your own server. It doesn't even have to be a chat app, you could easily build a bot for example.

Don't hesitate to contribute or open issues :)

Note

Keep in my mind this extension was

• My first extension
• My first time using WebSockets
• My first time deploying anything on something else than my Raspi
• Poorly made in 3 days

So there's going to be issues, but i'll do my best to find time to maintain this. Also, i'm currently using Heroku's free plan, which is fine for now but not ideal. If you'd like to host the official VSTalk server with a better solution, HMU :D
