Adds removeGroupMember (DELETE /groups/{topic}/members/{user_id}) --
confirmed live the backend now has this route (server/im_http.go's
serveIMGroupMember + canRemoveIMGroupMember), which an earlier pass
recorded as a genuine protocol gap; it isn't anymore. Wired into
GroupMembersModal with a per-row "移出" button gated by the same rule
the backend enforces (owner or admin removes a plain member, only the
owner removes an admin, nobody removes the owner or themselves), with
a confirm dialog before the real DELETE call. Verified live end-to-end
against a real owned group: member count 4 -> 3, list updates
correctly (the side panel's own separate "群成员 N" summary count
still trailed behind after this -- confirmed via a direct GET that the
server's own group payload hadn't recalculated member_count yet, a
backend read-consistency lag unrelated to this fix, not chased
further).
Also fixes the reported "已处理的群邀请消息,即使群解散了,接受邀请
按钮还是一直可以点" bug: the button's visibility used to be derived
purely from the notification's static action payload every render, so
neither a successful accept nor a definitively-failed one (expired,
already handled, group gone) ever stopped it from looking freshly
clickable again. Tracks per-invitation resolved state (accepted/
failed) once either outcome happens and swaps the button for a static
resolved label. Doesn't survive a page reload for invitations resolved
in an earlier visit (the notification record itself carries no
resolved flag to read back) -- a real, acknowledged limit, not
silently hidden.

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.
