Netflix Party

Netflix Party is a Chrome extension for watching Netflix remotely with friends, e.g., for movie nights with that long-distance special someone. It synchronizes video playback and adds group chat.

Unfortunately, the server-side implementation for the original extension became closed-source in 2016. This project is an attempt to re-create the existing functionality in an open-source environment, while also adding some additional features, including;

  • Message 'liking'
  • Message editing & deletion
  • Per-user typing indicators
