That would work, but keep in mind that local-network-chat is just a barebones demonstration on how to send data via multicast:

• You won't see previous messages after joining the chat.
• It does not have a fallback for networks where multicast traffic is being blocked.

Would the UI be a VSCode-native one? In this case, local-network-chat is barely more than a few lines using multicast-channel & really-basic-chat-ui.

In any case, it would be cool to have a local-network chat in VSCode!

If it can be achieved, this tool will definitely be familiar to everyone and continue to improve. then more and more popular.
