Hey ICP community 
I just launched IC Ping — a lightweight, decentralized way to add real-time group chat + direct messaging (or a clean contact form) to any website with one <script> tag.
Live mainnet frontend: https://thowo-iqaaa-aaaab-ac3wa-cai.icp0.io/
What it does (one sentence)
Paste one line of code → visitors see a floating icon → clicking opens either a group chat with usernames & DMs, or a beautiful contact form — everything stored and running fully on-chain on the Internet Computer.
Here’s a quick demo of the app, Chatroom , and Contact Forms in action:
Main features
- Chatroom: $15 one-time setup (Stripe) → get your personal chatroom script
- Contact form: $10 one-time setup → get your private contact form script
- Annual renewal — $15/year for chatrooms, $10/year for contact forms (countdown timer shown in your dashboard)
- Built-in direct messages — users can DM each other by typing
@username - Users choose screen names (per chatroom) after logging in with Internet Identity
- Admin controls for chatroom owners: mute users, delete messages, appoint co-admins
- Responsive popup (mobile + desktop, auto-positions beside other floating icons)
- Internet Identity login — no passwords, no wallets to manage
- reCAPTCHA Enterprise protection on contact forms (spam prevention)
- Clean dashboard showing your widgets, days remaining, payment history
Two widget types
-
Chat room ($15 setup / $15 per year)
Floating speech bubble icon → opens group chat + DM tab -
Contact form ($10 setup / $10 per year)
Floating envelope icon → opens a sleek form whose submissions land in your private dashboard
Who might want this today?
- Hackathon / side-project landing pages that want instant community
- NFT / DAO / game websites wanting quick visitor chat
- Indie makers who want a contact form without relying on centralized services
- Anyone who likes the “pay once → renew yearly → no monthly SaaS” model
Try it in 60 seconds
- Visit https://thowo-iqaaa-aaaab-ac3wa-cai.icp0.io/
- Login with Internet Identity
- Paste your website URL → pay $15 (chat) or $10 (contact)
- Copy the generated
<script>tag - Paste it before
</head>on any page - Refresh → floating icon appears
Very interested in your thoughts:
- Would you embed this on your own dapp / personal site?
- What’s the #1 feature / improvement you’d like to see next?
- Any obvious UX, security, pricing, or integration concerns?
Looking forward to seeing some IC Ping icons floating around the ecosystem soon!
