Chat Bot
Hello'w 👋
Hello! How can I help you today?
Can you help me with a typing animation next?
Absolutely. I can show you how to create that with CSS or JavaScript—your pick!
Let's go with CSS first. I'd prefer something lightweight.
Great. You can use a simple keyframe animation to create the dots effect. I’ll give you the code snippet shortly.
Perfect. I also want it to auto-scroll as new messages come in.
Good idea. You can handle that with a bit of JavaScript—scrolling the container to the bottom each time a new message is added.
Got it. What about storing messages locally? Should I use localStorage or IndexedDB?
For simple use cases, localStorage works fine. But if you're planning to store a lot of data or support search/filter, IndexedDB is more robust.
I think I'll start with localStorage for now. Can I make the chat persistent across refreshes that way?
Exactly. You can serialize the messages array to JSON and save it to localStorage. On page load, read and parse it back.
Awesome. Last thing—for now—can you suggest some nice fonts for this UI?
Sure! Try Inter, Roboto, or Poppins for a clean modern look. They’re all free on Google Fonts.
Thanks a ton! This is really helpful.
You're very welcome! Let me know whenever you're ready for the next step. 😄
