- Remove optimistic message rendering that was causing duplicates
- Messages now only appear after server broadcast confirmation
- Simplify appendMessage() to check for existing message IDs and prevent duplicates
- Remove message delivery status indicators (sending/sent/failed)
- Add user alert when attempting to send while disconnected
This fixes the issue where messages appeared twice - once as an optimistic
temporary message and again when the server broadcast was received.
Features added:
- Connection status indicator (green=connected, yellow=connecting, red=disconnected)
- Exponential backoff reconnection (1s → 2s → 4s → ... → 30s max)
- Typing indicators showing who is typing (up to 3 users, with overflow count)
- Message status (⋯ sending, ✓ sent, ✗ failed with retry option)
- Jump-to-bottom button with unread message count badge
- Smart scroll preservation (stays in place unless already at bottom)
- Optimistic UI for sent messages (appears immediately, updates with real status)
- Backend support for broadcasting typing events to other users
- Add word-wrap and overflow-wrap to all content areas
- Prevents horizontal overflow on long words/URLs
- Fixes layout breaking with continuous text (e.g., 'owohhh...')
- Applied to post content, chat messages, lists, and paragraphs
- A new `files` table to store metadata about uploaded files, including original name and hash.
- The `users` table is updated to reference a `pfp_file_id` from the new `files` table, removing the insecure `pfp_url` field.
- A new `/file` endpoint and handler (`handlers/file.go`) are created to serve files securely based on their ID, preventing direct file system access.
- Profile editing (`handlers/profile_edit.go` and `templates/pages/profile_edit.html`) is updated to handle file uploads instead of URL inputs.
- The chat feature (`models/chat.go` and `templates/pages/chat.html`) is updated to work with the new file ID system, ensuring avatars are displayed correctly.
Should also fix#68.
