Mini-Chat has decent string sanitization now, thanks to those who helped with testing (https://alpxtest.pages.dev if you are curious). It's pretty much ready for integration (just couple of minor changes are needed), I'll return to work on my main website soon.

It's just a tiny project but I'm really proud of it. Once completed, I will integrate it into my main website

I think you should wrap the comments into an element and apply overflow:hidden to them to prevent the contents from obscuring other comments as I did in one of my tests

It's okay, thanks for feedback. Current XSS protection is really primitive, that's why characters like "&,<,>" turn to *, that's temporary. Backend is pretty simple actually, it's just basic KV storage getting data from POST requests and sends them to the client with GET requests, i could've used a different database structure, but this is more than enough considering the required complexity.
just learned how to make a chat/guestbook without javascript dependency, its gonna be awesome

something feels off(?) for some reason. single-page layout was simple and easier to manage, now my files are getting messy, i might have to sacrifice either aesthetic appeal or my sanity
