River Chatbot

A simple chatbot web application built with Preact and TypeScript. Users can chat with an AI-powered bot, with all messages displayed in a modern, responsive UI.

Features

• Send and receive messages in real time
• Clean, glassmorphic UI styled with SASS and Bootstrap
• API endpoint configurable in code
• Fast, production-ready static build

Getting Started

Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone <repository-url>
cd chat-ui
npm install

Development

Start the development server:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Production Build

Build the optimized static site:

npm run build

The output will be in the docs/ directory, ready for static hosting (e.g., GitHub Pages).

Configuration

The chatbot API endpoint is set in src/page.tsx:

const response = await fetch(
  `https://ai.liukonen.dev?text=${encodeURIComponent(inputValue)}`
);

To use a different API, change the URL above.
