It's nothing fascinating engineering wise. It's just clever and interesting to see.

It's a cool toy project people can play with. I'm surprised nobody ever did it before. It's so clever.

I wouldn't say nobody ever did it before... as it's not something incredibly novel... but it's still fun.

For example, while playing Airmash (an web game posted here around Dec 2017, now dead but another implementation still exists in starma.sh ), some of us were using a private chat (it used websocket though)... and this chat could be loaded and used via the console from any site....
