floors.js

Floors.js transforms static websites into real-time social spaces by adding interactive 3D chat rooms where visitors appear as customizable avatars. The widget solves a fundamental engagement problem that most websites face: visitors browse in isolation, unable to see or interact with other people exploring the same content. With a single script tag embedded in the HTML, site owners can introduce live presence indicators, spatial navigation, and instant messaging without building any of that infrastructure themselves. The result feels more like a multiplayer game lobby than a traditional website, creating opportunities for spontaneous conversations that would never happen on conventional pages.

The technical implementation relies on WebSockets for real-time communication and Three.js for rendering isometric 3D rooms. Visitors who land on any page of the site automatically receive a randomly generated name and avatar with no signup required. They can walk around the virtual floor by clicking on different spots, see other active visitors represented as avatars moving in real time, and communicate through speech bubbles that appear above characters. The system supports mentions for directing messages to specific people, private messaging for one-on-one conversations away from the public space, and emoji reactions for quick responses without typing. This creates a lightweight social layer that sits on top of existing web content without requiring any changes to the underlying site structure or design.

Setup involves pasting the script into a site's HTML, and the widget handles everything from there. It auto-detects pages from the site's navigation structure and works seamlessly with single-page applications built on React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, or Astro. The script loads asynchronously to avoid any impact on Core Web Vitals, so performance remains unaffected even on pages where loading speed matters for SEO or user experience. Site owners access a dashboard where they can customize room layouts using fifteen furniture types, select from eight room templates that establish different visual themes, and adjust color schemes to match their branding. The customization options let owners make the widget feel native to their site rather than an obviously bolted-on third-party tool.

Avatar customization offers four distinct styles: Classic, Detailed, Chibi, and Pixel, each with adjustable colors. Visitors can personalize their appearance within seconds, making the space feel more personal even though no account creation is involved. Moderation tools are built directly into the dashboard, including spam blocking that prevents message flooding, rate limiting that slows down rapid-fire posting, and owner controls for managing conversations when things get out of hand. The dashboard also integrates with Telegram and Discord, sending instant alerts when visitors reply to messages or when activity spikes. This makes it practical for creators, indie developers, or small teams who want to monitor engagement without constantly watching the widget throughout the day.

The target audience spans landing pages, SaaS products, e-commerce stores, online communities, and educational platforms. Any site that would benefit from making visitors feel like they are part of a shared experience rather than browsing alone stands to gain from this approach. The zero-friction join model removes barriers that typically prevent casual visitors from participating in chat features, since there are no accounts to create, no forms to fill out, and no personal information to provide. Someone can arrive on the page and start chatting within seconds, which dramatically increases participation compared to traditional forum or comment systems that require registration.

Privacy considerations are addressed through a no-cookie, no-tracking approach that aligns with GDPR requirements. The widget doesn't collect personal data, doesn't store browsing history, and doesn't require consent banners specifically for its functionality. This simplifies compliance for site owners operating in regions with strict data protection regulations, since adding the widget doesn't introduce new privacy obligations or legal complexity. The architecture prioritizes ephemeral interaction over data collection, which fits the use case of casual real-time conversation better than systems designed to build user profiles.

Pricing includes two options: a monthly subscription at fourteen dollars with a seven-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime payment of ninety-nine dollars. Both tiers support up to four hundred concurrent visitors per site and include all core features without artificial limitations or upsells. Cancellation is available anytime for the subscription model, and the lifetime option eliminates recurring costs entirely for sites that want a permanent solution without ongoing budget considerations.
