I have identified a critical bug regarding message sorting. All chats affected. I will work on this as soon as I get time.

Is this the cause for all chats being unusable currently? None are loading. I assume so, but would appreciate confirmation of my suspicions if they are true. No rush to get it fixed.

Updates to the landing page to reflect new changes to how customer support is handled, it is no longer included for beta links. Using beta is never recommended and it only exists for specific users.

hey, just wanting to share something that may be a bug for the beta links but im not sure!! im trying to sign into my chattable account on my site via the iframe, but the settings icon is entirely unresponsive. unsure if this is just a me issue or not, so figured it would be safest to mention it in case it isnt a me issue!!

ended up going back to the non-beta links for now, which work a lot better :3

Working on performance issues with Chattable, everyone's feedback has been heard and message buffering has returned. Only the latest 15 messages render unless you scroll up for more.

I just identified an issue where Chattable beta & production versions were racing to overwrite chat messages, the loser would lose their messages. I've since cloned the database and use a separate db for beta now, chat history & ownership now varies between the two versions.

Now is a good time to change all your beta.iframe.chat links BACK to iframe.chat links, using BOTH can get confusing for you and me when troubleshooting

I believe I have fixed this, try visiting the chattable dashboard again and creating your chat if it doesn't exist yet. A few things to note though: 1. Chat IDs are like usernames, if one is taken already, you won't be able to use it to create your own. 2. The dashboard doesn't work in real time, most changes will require you to reload the page to see your changes, this will remain true while the project is in beta

I've started rewriting Chattable 3 days ago. Changes will only affect beta.iframe.chat links until the full rerelease of Chattable

chattable 4 months ago

As of April 8, 2026 on Beta, messages and chat room settings are officially stored locally on Chattable's servers. Removing the biggest Firebase dependency in this project. You can read the entire chat history of these chats (up to the last 200 messages) and send & receive new messages. You can also delete & edit existing messages per your permissions in each room.

Most of the dashboard and other chat functions do not work yet, including the emoji table, promoting users, demoting users, kicking users, banning users, creating chats, deleting chats, creating accounts, deleting accounts, adding emojis, removing emojis, adding profanity filters, removing profanity filters, clearing chats, executing commands, and many other features not listed.

I will prioritize certain features as I go through and rewrite each existing feature, but we're at a point that beta allows you to consistently read & send messages at no cost to me, 100% reliably.

Still using Firebase for Auth at the moment, sometimes chats won't load due to login rate limits. Will be fixed once Firebase is fully removed.

replies are working again, whispers are working but don't render in real time (yet) meaning whispered messages sent after page load won't render until the next page load.

If you are still using Chattable at this time, expect chats to not render on some page loads (because of connection queues) and double rendering of all messages (known issue on my end, happens during high traffic)

Was the limit for february reached or for march already? I thought it was already at the limit when the chat was down for a few days this month. The traffic has been really high for sure

Kuroi, brother, I don't even know. The limit for March hasn't been reached because the limit is supposed to be a full-stop when met. Like, when I reach this monthly limit it's supposed to full stop until it resets... but it didn't. Next month my limits will reset, they'll be the same limits but with a new balance at 0 bytes of data downloaded. Firebase rules seem to just be ignored for my project, however,

chattable 5 months ago

The concurrent active user limit seems to be harshly enforced. 100 users at any given time. If 100 users are online (including anons across all chats), other users will see a chat that is blank (no messages) when loading the page. It seems to be the only limit being enforced and there is absolutely 0 people online who have reported similar behavior.

According to Firebase: I'm allowed 360mb of download per day. I'm at 100+ GB of download for this month. It's been 25 days. Do the math, and you'll notice something is wrong. I have no idea how or why Chattable is able to send or receive messages still, this month has a recorded 224,000 monthly active user which is an all time high.

I can't begin to imagine what it's like to host so many users, but have you thought about moving to a dedicated server (i use railway). A simple Node.js server with socket.io might suffice, for little money. You could also optimize your queries and think about implementing throttling, if you are still have griefers? Apologies if this all sounds obvious or unreasonable, just wanting to help :)

PSA: An outage is expected from January 23, 2026 to January 31, 2026 due to hitting hard monthly limits set by Firebase. The attacks between the 1st-3rd used 86% of the free monthly bandwidth limit. We're sitting at 94% currently without any attacks since. With expectations to hit 100% on the 23rd or 24th

To combat this, anon account creations are also disabled. What this means for you: New visitors to your site won't be able to read your chat though they can still send messages due to the server processing that and not the client.

I am also aware of being unable to login from your chat, I may work on this later. If you're tech savvy enough, you can copy your Firebase login/account cookie from the dashboard to your website (or your chat) then you won't need to sign in.
