[New Plugin] Fluid Chat: The "WhatsApp-style" element. 60fps Scroll, Audio Messages & Images

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

Building a chat app in Bubble usually means fighting with Repeating Groups: the scroll jumps, “scroll to bottom” is glitchy, and performance drops after 50 messages.

I wanted a chat that felt native (like WhatsApp or Telegram), so I built Fluid Chat.

Instead of a heavy RG, this is a single, high-performance visual element that renders your conversation instantly.

:rocket: Key Features:

  • Inverse Scroll: Content stays anchored to the bottom. No more weird jumping when the page loads.

  • Audio Experience: Built-in Voice Recorder button + Custom Audio Player with waveforms (no ugly browser defaults).

  • Smart UI: Auto-inserts “Today/Yesterday” dividers and groups messages visually.

  • Real-time feel: Includes Typing Indicators (animated bubbles) and Read Receipts (Blue ticks) logic.

  • Multi-Media: Supports multi-image uploads and full-screen viewing.

  • Long Press: Right click with your mouse or long press with your finger and you will have a menu to react, edit or delete a message.

It handles all the heavy lifting (rendering HTML, managing audio state, scrolling) so you just pass the list of messages, and it works.
