Compact Message Composer by CometChat

CometChat just dropped Compact Message Composer, and it's exactly what it sounds like — modern chat features packed into a lightweight embeddable kit, built by Anant Garg, who's listed as "Maker" on the team (which, low-key, rules — shows hands-on building over title polish). It handles the usual suspects: typing indicators, read receipts, media sharing, the whole vibe you'd expect from a polished messaging experience without rebuilding it from scratch. If you're shipping chat into any app where a full SDK feels like overkill, this one's worth a look.
