Live chat release notes

💬 Replies got their own tab

• No more "where did that answer go?". Threads, unread badges, jump-to-source - chaos retired.

⚡ Quick-text buttons

• Up to three saved phrases per teacher. One click, message sent. More teaching, less typing.

📊 Polls in chat

• Create a poll inside the chat and let the room vote in real time - democracy, but with fewer meetings.

🧹 You can delete your messages now.

• With confirmation and proper syncing — no more ghost texts haunting the chat.

📍 Recently visited rooms

• Your last nine rooms show right on the join page. Like speed-dial, but for classrooms.

🧘 Message history is gone - filters are in

• All / Answered / Ignored / Deferred / New. Pick a lane, see only what you need. Zen restored.

📣 Public Updates page

• You can finally check changes without guessing or asking dev nicely.

✨ UI cleaned up, bugs moved out

• Smoother layouts, calmer mobile view. The small gremlins have been evicted.

🧪 TypeScript is taking over the frontend

• Don't panic - things just break less and behave more like code that knows what it's doing.

Message reactions

• You can now add reactions to other users' messages. When you hover over a message, a new icon appears next to "reply" that looks like a smiling face with a plus sign. Clicking it opens a new reaction selector window.

UI improvements

• Some interface elements received new colors to make them easier to recognize. For example, ban buttons are now red.
• New icons were added to certain buttons to make their purpose clearer.
• UI elements are gradually changing to move toward a unified style.

Faster interface and button responsiveness

• Chat messages and reactions now use an optimistic update approach: your action first appears on the client, and only after that is it confirmed by the server. This makes the interface respond faster to your actions.

Welcome experience

• A welcome modal has been added, which you may have seen when entering the site.
