Let’s build a live chat! 👍from the 1800s (?!) 🤔using modern web technology!!! 😮
summary
A browser program converts typed text into timed Morse (dot = one unit, dash = three units, intra‑letter pause = 1 unit, inter‑letter = 3 units, inter‑word = 7 units), uses the Web Audio API to create oscillators and modulate gain for on/off tones, and sends/receives messages over WebSockets to make a live chat. Historical context appears (Pony Express 10–16 days, fastest seven days) and a live demo runs successfully with audible Morse and applause, so the idea is proved feasible.
