SideChat - Chatrooms for ChatGPT

About

🧠 SideChat — Real-Time Chat Inside ChatGPT

Talk to the people behind the prompts.
SideChat adds a social layer to ChatGPT, letting you instantly chat with others who are prompting the same topics — writing, coding, marketing, studying, you name it.

If you’ve ever wondered “who else is in here right now?” — this extension answers that question.

💬 What It Does

SideChat turns ChatGPT into a shared workspace.
It automatically detects what you’re working on and connects you with others doing the same thing — all inside a sleek little chat bubble.

👥 Chat in Real Time with other ChatGPT users typing similar prompts.

🧩 Automatic Topic Matching — no signup, no setup.

⚡ Instant Messaging — powered by lightweight realtime tech (no lag, no fuss).

🕶️ Anonymous by Default — pick a nickname or stay random (“CuriousOtter42”).

🌓 Dark Mode Friendly — perfectly matches ChatGPT’s theme.

🔔 Smart Notifications — optional sound + badge alerts when someone messages you.

💾 Local-Only Storage — your data never leaves your browser.
