As GameBoost scaled to serve hundreds of thousands of gamers worldwide, their in-house chat became a bottleneck. Think: lag, downtime, and maintenance overhead.

They needed real-time communication that could scale globally.

Here’s how they solved it with TalkJS 🧵

💬 TalkJS now supports real-time typing indicators via the JavaScript Data API!

Indicators auto-expire after 10s of inactivity—so users only show as "typing" when they actually are.

Smart UX for real-time chat.

✉️ TalkJS email notifications are now threaded by conversation in most email clients.

Cleaner inboxes = better UX.

Behind the scenes, this works by adding the conversation ID to the References header of each message so clients can group messages correctly.

As audiences grow, chat often becomes chaotic: off-topic convos, emotional spikes, and spam. That can drive users away.
