Can I use a floating chat UI with thread persistence in Next.js?

Yes, a floating chat UI with thread persistence is fully compatible with Next.js and React projects. It uses localStorage to retain conversation threads across sessions and includes responsive design for both mobile and desktop environments.

What is the best way to implement an accessible chat widget in React?

The best way to implement an accessible chat widget in React is to use a component with built-in ARIA attributes and a floating action button. This ensures the chat interface is navigable by screen readers while maintaining a responsive layout.

How do I configure a ChatKit client widget for my backend API?

Configuring a ChatKit client widget involves setting a configurable API endpoint and UI theme to match your brand. You integrate the useChatKit hook within your React component to connect the floating chat interface to your backend.

Does localStorage thread management work for multi-turn support chats?
