Open Chat Updates

You can now open a "What's New" dropdown directly in the app to read recent updates without leaving your current page. The panel includes an embedded changelog view and a link to view all updates in a separate tab, with sizing that adapts for mobile and desktop screens.

The model selector dropdown now behaves more consistently when opened and closed quickly. This release reduces visual flicker and prevents brief animation glitches during rapid toggling, while also helping keep the page layout steadier by avoiding scrollbar-related shifts.

This release updates the app’s favicon and icon URLs with a versioned link so browsers fetch the latest assets. It resolves cases where the new osschat branding icons did not appear in production, even after a hard refresh, due to aggressive browser caching.

This release rebrands the app from OpenChat to osschat and introduces a new 8-bit triangle logo. You will see updated app names, refreshed icons across web and the extension, and improved link previews thanks to new Open Graph and Twitter metadata, plus an iOS home screen icon and updated PWA colors.

This release includes a small update intended to help validate the web app release process. While there are no visible product changes, it supports smoother and more reliable releases by confirming that automated deployment triggers behave as expected.

The README now reflects the current OpenChat stack, replacing outdated references to Next.js and WorkOS. It documents TanStack Start for the frontend and Better Auth with GitHub OAuth, so new users can follow the right setup and understand how sign-in and user sync work.

Fixed an issue where some signed-in users could send a chat message and nothing would happen. Your account now syncs automatically when you sign in, and if you try to message before that sync is ready, you will see a clear prompt instead of a silent failure.

This release focuses on a comprehensive mobile UI redesign to make the app easier to use on smaller screens. You now get a dedicated hamburger menu for the sidebar, mobile-friendly bottom sheets for model settings and selection, larger touch targets, and a fix for a bug that could cause the sidebar to close immediately after opening on mobile.

Fixed a production build issue where the web app could fail to compile due to missing Convex generated imports. This release includes the required generated API and data model files so builds have the type definitions they need without extra steps.

Chat file attachments now use a clearer, consistent format, and saved chat and model data is handled more safely. If your browser blocks or clears local storage, the app will now surface a warning instead of silently failing, making it easier to understand why saved items may not appear.
