Realtime messaging
Messages arrive the moment they are sent. The room shows typing indicators, read state and an online roster as soon as there is something to show.
Instant delivery
Sub second delivery, and the room reconnects on its own when the network drops for a moment.
Chat history
Scroll back through the room, load older pages on demand, and clear history with a permission gated action.
Private messages
One to one conversations with their own roster, blocks and notifications, kept out of the public room.
Ranks, roles and permissions
Every account carries a rank: Owner, Founder, Admin, Moderator, VIP, Member and Guest. You decide once per rank who may mute, kick, ban, delete or pin.
- Per rank permission toggles in the control panel, applied immediately.
- Message actions open from a three dot menu: Reply always, Delete only when your rank allows it or the message is yours.
- Guests get a limited, read first experience you can tighten further.
Moderation you can audit
Every kick, ban, mute, rank change and message deletion is logged with who did it, to whom and when, and anyone whose rank allows it can read the log.
- Mute and kick from the user list or from a message.
- IP bans that survive a nickname change.
- Moderation log and system log views inside the control panel.
- Pinned messages for room wide announcements.
Identity and safety
Rooms can require login, allow guest entry, or both. Email verification, password reset and profile moderation keep the account side tidy.
- Link filtering that holds suspicious URLs for review instead of posting them.
- Controls that hold a ban in place even when the nickname changes.
- Session checks that let you end a stale login from another device.
Voice
Built in voice rooms let people talk without leaving the page. Push to talk or open mic, per room, with the same rank controls as text chat.
Fourteen themes, one identity
Glass, Cartoon, Clay, Neo, Feed, Mono, Metro, Basic, IRC, Midnight, Sunset, Forest, Ocean and Candy, each in light and dark. Themes restyle the room only; your accent, header and footer colours always win.
Embedding
Paste one script tag or drop an iframe in your page. The room inherits your site width, and there is a standalone URL if you would rather link to it.
