Totally fair and understandable update. Hate that it got to this point but you have a solid project that is really well made. Not for nothing, but have you ever considered making the back end a docker container for users to have the option for self-hosting? Might sound like overkill but I'm having a hard time finding an alternative. The simplicity of yours isn't really matched and that's what I like most about it.
Thank you for the update :( I'm sorry stuff has been so rough to maintain.. You mentioned downgrading to the free plan database and I'm wondering if maybe there could be a way the admin could host their own database? At least to aleviate some of that burden
@tommypanzram unfortunately dockerization isn't a viable alternative. While it would work to clone most of Chattable you'd still need to setup a Firebase account with specific configurations across auth & rtdb, and then you'd need to edit front & backend code to point everything to the new database. Which isn't something I plan to provide support on
tfw i uploaded with no article title. nice. fixing now
I don't use it personally, but isn't that a damn shame
So sorry this is happening. You will figure it out I know it :]
thanks so much for all the work you've put into maintaining chattable for so long. very sad to see it go :(

I perfectly understand if this would require a lot of code rewriting and whatnot though!
such a shame seeing this go, hope it gets better. Is there a way to donate? Because I know if i could i would
Please open the donations back up. I wish to help you out, even if it isn't with Chattable.
thank you for all your hard work :( i'm sorry things have had to turn out this way

thanks for all the fun times, im will miss you chattable :(
I am really glad to see that Chattable will continue! Downgrading to a free tier plan is kinda genius.
