an(other) iframe chat for neocities. paste one line of
html and your visitors can leave you messages. no sign up, no
account, nothing for them to install.
you get a dashboard to manage messages, block spam, and make the
whole thing look like your site. invite only for now.
--ct-font takes any font family, and the dashboard
can load a google font into the widget for you. the full editor in
there has a lot more knobs than this one.

faq
how do i get access?
invite only during the pre pre alpha. email
contact@barndoors.cc
and i'll hook you up.
is it free?
yes. one site per account, rolling 150 messages. a few extras
(custom admin badge, visitor badges, recording voice notes) are
supporter only. everything else is just free.
how do i embed it?
make a site on the dashboard, copy the iframe snippet, paste it
into your html. that's it.
do visitors need an account?
nope. just a name, or nothing at all if they'd rather be
anonymous. accounts are for owners only.
how do i deal with spam?
honeypot and timing checks are on by default. you can also block
usernames and IP hashes, auto-delete messages containing
words you pick, or nuke the whole chat.
why are you IP logging?
i'm not really. no one wants to get spammed/cyberbullied
in 202X. CityTalk logs hashed IPs purely to help admins
block problem users. they're totally unusable on their own, from
the db to the frontend.
this is super busted.
hey that's not a question! CityTalk is currently being built by
one (not so smart) dude. PLEASE reach out with issues, feature
requests, any of that by emailing
contact@barndoors.cc.
the more annoying y'all are the better. this is a neocities nerd
trying to give back to this amazing community.
