- The author added a Town Square feature to their website to create a sense of real-time connection among visitors, showing stick figures representing current users and enabling chat.
- Town Square is designed to be minimal and temporary, with no accounts, profiles, or permanent chat history, emphasizing ephemeral interactions.
- The project has been open-sourced on GitHub, allowing others to host it themselves or use a public server for easy integration without self-hosting.
- Future plans include adding more character props, improving chat features, and potentially connecting Town Squares between websites to form a network similar to a webring.
- The author encourages feedback and ideas via email for further development of Town Square.
