- FileAttachment never surfaced a failed authenticated download -- the card looked identically clickable whether it worked or not, and clicking while broken silently no-op'd. Added an error state/retry (useAuthedBlobUrl gained a retry() escape hatch for this). ImageAttachment/AudioAttachment already handled this; only the file card didn't. - --shadow-btn was one token serving two different specs: round 2's fix (0 6px 16px, from the 50px auth CTAs) actually regressed the 36px messaging send button (ConversationView/VoiceRecorder), which needs 0 4px 12px per 02-messages.dc.html. Split into --shadow-btn / --shadow-btn-sm. - loadOlder's scroll-restore guard compared topicId by value, which false-positives on an A->B->A round trip within one request's lifetime (same string, but the DOM was torn down and rebuilt by the intervening open/close). Switched to a generation counter, same pattern as topics.ts's leave-race fix. - errorToast wasn't included in ConversationView/DetailColumn's topicId-reset effects -- a failed action's toast could keep showing over a conversation/contact switched to afterward. Also switched those effects (and MessagesLayout's) from useEffect to useLayoutEffect -- since none of these components remount on topicId change, a post-paint effect could let one frame render with the previous topicId's stale UI still showing. - VoiceRecorder never listened for MediaRecorder's own onerror -- a mid-recording failure left the "录音中" timer ticking forever with no indication the recording had already died. - VerificationCodeButton's phone-change countdown reset (round 2) only cleared the button's own state; RegisterPage/ResetPasswordPage's challengeId was still tied to whatever phone the code was actually issued for, with nothing cross-checking it against a since-edited phone number. - Agreement's checkbox used bare accent-color on a native input, which only tints the checked fill and leaves size/radius/border to the browser/OS; replaced with the spec's exact 16x16 border-radius:4px box + check glyph. - Added a catch-all route (App.tsx), TenantFeedbackPage image-picker validation feedback + corrected remove-button style, and a handful of smaller token/spacing corrections against screens/*.dc.html (NavRail font-weight, LoginPage/TenantEntryPage logo size+shadow+color, ChatListColumn row padding/icon size, --shadow-modal alpha).

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/.
