Right-click a message for 复制/撤回/删除/多选 (README §3.5). 引用/收藏/翻译/
转发 deliberately left out of this pass -- quote and forward need their own
composer-state flows, and there's no confirmed single-message favorite
endpoint yet; a menu item that doesn't work is worse than a smaller correct
menu.
- lib/messages/actions.ts: gates recall to own messages, server-confirmed
seq (not the SDK's local pending-seq placeholder), and bootstrap's
message_policy.recall_window_seconds -- scoped to P2P for now, no
group-admin recall yet.
- lib/api/bootstrap.ts + api/hooks.ts: first GET /bootstrap wiring
(message_policy, forward limits, etc.), cached indefinitely per session.
- lib/api/messages.ts: recall goes through REST, not native WS -- and
requires a body `{version, reason}` this backend tracks per-message
independently of Tinode's own seq (confirmed in
docs/IM-前后端对接文档.md:1248 and by hitting a live 400
MALFORMED_REQUEST/version first, since no version field is actually
delivered anywhere in the WS {data} packet this app reads messages from).
Defaults to version:1 -- the correct value for any never-before-edited
message, which covers the common case; a real edit/recall race surfaces
as a version-conflict error rather than being silently papered over.
- Basic multi-select: enter via the context menu's "多选" (no long-press
gesture yet), header becomes "已选择 N 条消息"+取消, bottom bar currently
offers only 删除 (bulk 转发/收藏 wait on those features existing).
Verified end to end: recall correctly withheld past the 120s window and
correctly available within it, the real recall REST call round-trips and
the message disappears locally; multi-select mode enters/exits and
pre-selects the long-pressed/right-clicked message.

Tinode Web
Briefing
Single-page web chat application for Tinode. The app is built on React. The Tinode javascript SDK has no external dependencies. Overall, it's a lot like open source WhatsApp or Telegram web apps.
Although the app is generally usable, keep in mind that this is work in progress. Some bugs probably exist, some features are missing. The app was tested in the latest Chrome & Firefox only. NPM package is available.
Try possibly newer or older version live at https://sandbox.tinode.co/.
For demo access and other instructions see here.
