// IDENTITY
When you connect, the server generates a random anonymous alias for you (e.g. Guest-4F2A). No account, no email, no registration needed.
// PRIVACY
Your IP address is hashed with Bcrypt before storage — it cannot be reversed. No personal data is ever collected or logged in plain text.
// ROOMS
- Type any name in the JOIN ROOM field and press → or Enter.
- Room names are auto-sanitized (lowercase, hyphens only).
- Anyone who types the same room name joins the same channel.
- Use ⟳ Refresh or wait — the active rooms list updates every 10 s.
// MESSAGING
- Press Enter to send · Shift+Enter for a new line.
- Messages are limited to 2 000 characters.
- A live typing indicator lets others know when someone is writing.
// LOGS
Chat history is snapshotted every 3 hours and retained temporarily. There is no permanent message archive. Rooms with no activity are eventually cleaned up.
// TIPS
- Toggle the sidebar with the ☰ button at the top right of the chat.
- Share a room name out-of-band (e.g. via Signal) to invite someone privately.
- Refresh the active-rooms list to discover public rooms others have created.
