There are 4 people chatting with the word "ignition" over their messages but my range selector (presently "campfire") says "1 in range". Also, my preferred username, ~ry, causes some weird layout issues.

username: alert('oh oh') Oh boy... How long till someone loads a cryptominer on everyone's machine? Also, for kicks: https://i.imgur.com/wHq8nrb.png

If it wasn't so late I'd stand up a BeEF server. https://beefproject.com/

I also got a geolocation error even though I allowed location access. Could benefit from allowing the user to set a location as a fallback (or override). FF 72 (Ubuntu)

Same FF 72 ((I use) Arch (btw)) & chromium 79

Same: FF 72.0.4 on macOS 10.15.2

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. I remember when yikyak on college campuses was a thing.

Thank you for reminding me to enable "Block new requests asking to access your location. This will prevent any websites not listed above from requesting permission to access your location.
