## Description

SecondChat opens a chat room in your browser sidebar whenever someone else is on the same page as you. Every URL gets its own room no invite links, no room codes. Just open a page and start talking.

Features:
- Instant start — no account required, you get a random username automatically. Register it later with Google or Twitch to make it permanent.
- Page-scoped rooms — each URL is its own chat room. Reading an article? Watching a video? If someone else is there, you can talk.
- Emotes — full emoji picker plus 7TV, BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ emotes built in.
- Reactions — react to any message with emoji.
- Typing indicators — see when others are composing.
- Built-in moderation — AI spam detection, word filters, rate limiting, mute, report, and block.
- Private by design — no third-party analytics, no tracking pixels, no ad networks. First-party only. Your browsing stays yours.

SecondChat reads the URL of your active tab to determine which chat room to connect you to. It does not access page content, DOM elements, or run scripts on any page.
