Chatinoid Development History

All updates, improvements and feature changes of the Chatinoid platform. Have a question?

Chatinoid Core v3.5.1

A focused stability and behavior update improving message validation, abuse prevention enforcement and dynamic color rendering across themes.

Message Validation & Abuse Prevention

  • Removed masked output of prohibited messages.
  • Invalid or abusive content is now blocked immediately at form submission level.
  • Backend validation independently enforces the same rules, providing a dual-layer protection model.
  • Prevents prohibited content from ever entering the messaging pipeline.

Dynamic Theme-Aware Color Rendering

  • User-selected colors are no longer rendered as static values.
  • Color brightness and contrast are automatically adjusted based on the active light or dark theme.
  • Real-time adaptation without page reloads ensures consistent readability.
  • High-luminance colors (e.g. yellow) remain fully readable across all themes.

Chatinoid Core v3.5

A major refactor introducing full modularization, advanced anti-abuse detection, global color-sync intelligence and session-level security improvements.

Modular Architecture

  • Client and backend logic reorganized into dedicated modules (escape.js, color-change.js, socket-events.js, etc.).
  • Clean, scalable import/export design supporting plug-and-play extensions.
  • Significantly improved stability and long-term scalability across the platform.

Hardcore Anti-Abuse Engine (escape.js)

  • URL, IP, email, path and code-fragment detection.
  • Repeated-character limiter (max 3 identical repetitions).
  • Multi-layer message filtering with strict escapeHtml enforcement.
  • Automatic replacement of illegal patterns with [*** REMOVED TEXT ***].

MLG (Multi Login Protection)

  • Each user can be connected from only one device at a time.
  • Any subsequent login immediately terminates the previous session.
  • This fully eliminates ghost users and duplicate socket connections.

PrivaterCenter – Private Message Archive

  • Private messages now stored in a dedicated archive module.
  • Messages appear in “locked” status until the user opens the private tab.
  • Messages become readable only after the user marks them as seen.
  • Full anti-abuse protection integrated into the archive workflow.

Global User Color Sync

  • Real-time synchronization of user colors worldwide across the system.
  • Applies to usernames, message texts and user list items instantly.
  • Fully supported in rooms and private channels as well.

Notes

Version 3.5 represents the largest architectural transformation of the Chatinoid platform to date, preparing the system for long-term extensibility, complex real-time features and third-party module integration.

Chatinoid Core v2.2

Introduction of full administrative control, command parsing and extended moderation tools.

AdminPanel

  • User management: name, color, status, room assignment and attributes in real time.
  • System configuration editing through secure backend endpoints.

Command Engine

  • Modular, extendable command parser architecture.
  • Built-in commands: /me (action), /clear (wipe chat).
  • System messages appear in unique formatting for clarity.

Security & Content Filtering

  • Flood protection: repeated messages and rapid typing automatically blocked.
  • Spam detection: URLs, emails and suspicious content flagged instantly.
  • Automatic warning system triggers system alerts upon violations.
