Rebuilt tenant/login/register/reset-password to match the design handoff's 01-account screens precisely (previously only loosely approximated), and ported the old app's real business rules instead of guessing: - LoginPage: desktop split branding panel (>=900px), terms-agreement checkbox gating submit, forgot-password link, password visibility toggle, full ctrl-error translation table (lib/tinode/errors.ts, ported from the old app's CTRL_ERROR_TEXT_CN/translateCtrlError -- registration/login go over native WS, not REST, so client.ts's REASON_MESSAGES never applied). - RegisterPage: rebuilt as the real unified username-OR-phone form (not phone-only) -- username optional unless phone is blank, invite code required+validated only on the username-only path, matching the server's actual resolveRegistrationAccount rules. connection.ts's registerAccountByPhone generalized into registerAccount() supporting both paths, including the Tinode.credential(null) crash the old app had to work around on the username-only path. - New ResetPasswordPage wired to /auth/password-reset/* (a different endpoint family than registration's /auth/verification-codes/*). - Shared components: PasswordInput, VerificationCodeButton, Agreement, Toast. - Fixed tinode-sdk.d.ts: the real method is getCurrentUserID(), not the invented getAuthenticatedUserID() -- caught live, login crashed past a successful auth. - Fixed a responsive bug present on all four auth pages: fixed w-[380px] forms overflowed past the viewport edge below ~430px wide. Verified end-to-end against the real backend (api.118im.com, tenant "default"): fresh phone registration, password reset, re-login with the new password, and the username-only path's invite-code rejection all round-tripped correctly.

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.
