Essentially being able to "make our game a forum" that only has the two players be given read/write access? I actually like it ... the tiny chat window is a little limited for clear discussions of variations/lines.
Great idea!

Something like Classroom is probably the best solution for something like that: https://support.chess.com/article/3829-how-do-i-use-classroom
In OTB chess it's customary that players conduct a post-mortem after finishing a game where they together briefly go over the moves and exchange ideas. Understandably this mostly applies to long games and is not so common with say blitz games
. Since we play lot of correspondence chess here on Chess.com where the thinking times are even longer, I think it could be good idea to have similar practice here too after an online game has finnished. However, to my regret I have noticed this is not the case.
Of course I understand that it's perfectly possible to exchange ideas with your opponent after the game but I found that private messages are too clumsy for this and I don't wish to fill public forums by posting my every game there. So could it be possible to introduce some tools for conducting a post-mortem. After the online game is finnished the players could for example have available a specific post-mortem mode where they can enter variations and thoughts about the game for the other player to read and comment. Kind of private forum. If there would be separate tools for this then maybe more people would be encouraged to actually have a post-mortem.
It would be interesting to hear what others think about this!
