Mini Threads List

Mini Threads is a compact conversation list widget fixed to the bottom of the screen for quick access to all conversations from any page.

How it works​

The Mini Threads widget appears as a small panel at the bottom of the browser window, showing a list of the user's recent conversations with unread counts. Users can browse their conversations and click any thread to open it in a mini chat popup window — all without navigating away from the current page. The widget updates in real time as new messages arrive.
