Why it surfaced

convex-chat keeps conversation membership, message ordering, unread state, presence, typing, replies, and reactions reactive while leaving authentication, relationships, moderation, and product policy to the host application. The site includes a runnable example and makes a crisp architectural promise: bring your users and keep your policy.
