Lore drop: Chattable started in 2020 originally as a personal project for my own websites. I wanted something modular where I could use it across any of my sites. Eventually, in 2021 Chattable joined Neocities as a public service for anyone to use.

Truth be told, I was diagnosed as a kid but as I grow older I think most ADHD symptoms are symptoms of just being human and that the diagnosis itself was invented to sell pharmaceuticals.

Did you know? Chattable used to run without a backend. From 2021-2023 Chattable ran fully in client side JS and Firebase, hosted fully on Neocities!

Isn't that odd to even say? Firebase IS a BACKEND. Backend as a paid service. You should obviously do that yourself instead of paying for it. Good luck and best wishes!

chattable 1 month ago

No, Firebase offers a backend as a service (like cloud computing), but I didn't use those services. I used the realtime database which used client side logic to store, retrieve, and validate data. A database is not an backend. Also, at the time it was using the free tier.

hdub 1 month ago

Clearly I know nothing of backend. I wish I knew some at least. I'm not sure what point is a good time to start reading that book. It's a thick one but, after learning one language, the skill should be transferrable... I hope. Pray for me.

At the current rate of traffic growth, Chattable has calculated that 1 year from now, operation costs will equal >=$15,000,000 per month from Firebase alone. This is not sustainable. Be patient while heavy maintenance is performed between now & the EOY.

I don't expect Chattable to go down anytime soon, but new abuse filters have been temporarily added to automatically ban IPs that make too many requests within a short amount of time. This ban is a temporary ban (1hr) but can still be contested

Due to very large spikes in traffic which have been sustained for a few days now , some unusual bugs have introduced themselves. Please be patient while I am looking into this. Read below for a list of known bugs

Chats don't load on first load, this is because the server is reaching a rate limit of 18,000 user token requests per min (1M requests per hour) typically resolves after a reload

chattable 1 month ago

Sometimes new messages get rendered twice, root cause unknown but it's suspected to do with additional server strain

chattable 1 month ago

I'm taking action on abusive IPs, most of these are bots but if you are a genuine user who is having issues loading Chattable please email Chattable support chattable@xobyte.org

Testing a new way to style your chat in beta now

The dashboard on beta now lets you "Force a Stylesheet" which applies a set CSS file to your chat regardless of where it's embedded or if it's even initialized

Due to the nature of how this works, this feature will only work with CSS files hosted on web servers with CORS enabled. If you don't have CORS enabled, you can continue to style your chat using chattable.initialize()

Did you know the beta tester badge is the rarest badge on Chattable? There's only been 2 people to ever carry the badge. Neither of these people carry it anymore, as it's been replaced with the "Chattable Support" badge (ref. ".devTag" in the code) but messages with the old beta tester badge are grandfathered in, and if any such message(s) still exist, they will be the only message(s) that could ever wield this badge
