A Quick Tour

🏠 Lobby

The landing page lists the most active channels and offers a universal search bar. From BedWars tactics to redstone wizardry, every conversation has a home.

💬 In‑channel Chat

Messages refresh automatically every few seconds and include avatar thumbnails, timestamps, and multi‑line support.

👤 Accounts in Seconds

Registration requires only a username and password (avatar URL optional). No email or phone validation slows you down.

➕ Channel Creation

Click Create Channel, choose a name (#parkour, anyone?), and it’s live. Duplicate names are ignored to avoid fragmentation.

Behind the Scenes

Layer Stack Backend Custom PHP 8 codebase (closed‑source) Database MySQL hosted at 156.67.74.151 Real‑time Lightweight polling every 2–3 s (WebSocket upgrade slated for a future release)

Known Limitations

  • Plain styling in v1 – The interface ships with minimal CSS. A full dark‑theme overhaul is on our roadmap.

  • Polling, not push – Real‑time WebSockets and typing indicators are coming.

  • Public rooms only – Private channels and DMs will land in v1.5.

  • Basic moderation – Power‑mod commands are under active development.

Version 1 is about getting core chat features into your hands quickly while we iterate in the open.

What’s Next?

  1. Full responsive dark‑theme UI

  2. Emoji reactions

  3. WebSocket real‑time messaging

  4. OAuth log‑ins (Google, Discord)

  5. Embeddable widgets for external sites
