Worked all night and finally got the website streamlined for multi-language publication, rss feeds per language, and mastodon posts per language all automated to come out the other side. The tricky part was translating HTML (I needed to 'split it in half first', and then splice it back together at the end, weird)

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 4 days 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 4 days 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.

Wait so are all chattable chats down until end of the year? Or is that because I'm IP banned?

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 3 weeks ago

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

chattable 3 weeks 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

7 likes

chattable 3 weeks ago

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

chattable 3 weeks ago

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()

A small update to Chattable to help with new users understanding the dashboard and quality of life updates for everyone's chats

First, the Dashboard no longer shows grayed out buttons when no chat is selected. Fixed a bug on Firefox that gave a 404 error inside the chat preview when no chat is selected.

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

Chat Owners! Managing your moderators has finally gotten easier. Mod names are now logged when you promote a user and are used to identify each moderator on the dashboard.

*existing moderators before this update will not have their names available (it'll show "true" instead of their username) you can demote and promote your mods to update their name.

Feels too smooth and clean, but reading your article about the decision makes me appreciate it. I can admit there have been times where I've given up one something just because the site isn't easy to understand. (Github repositories, if that's what they're called, always get me. I can never naviagte them easily)
