Hyperchat

Hyperchat is a focused Convex + Vite chat app extracted from Monax's one-to-one chat and standalone group room concepts. It intentionally excludes calls, feeds, statuses, communities, games, music surfaces, and broad social tabs.

Local Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Connect Convex:

   npx convex dev

   The Convex CLI creates .env.local with VITE_CONVEX_URL after project setup.

3. Run the app:

   npm run dev

4. Validate:

   npm run typecheck
   npm run build

Core Features

• Email/password session auth for the MVP.
• Direct chats with read/unread summaries, quote replies, reactions, edits, deletion, forwarding, typing, presence, and preferences.
• Group rooms with memberships, owner/admin/member roles, room settings, unread/read state, typing, and room details.
• Message threads stored separately from the main timeline.
• File attachments through Convex storage upload URLs.
• In-app notifications for messages and thread replies.
• User settings for read receipts, typing, notifications, appearance, and profile basics.

Production Notes

• The local MVP uses SHA-256 password hashing to keep the scaffold self-contained. Replace it with a hardened auth provider or stronger password hashing before real user launch.
• Browser push, E2EE, server-side rich link fetching, and external identity providers are intentionally deferred.
