CometChat launches compact rich-text composer

CometChat’s Compact Message Composer is a chat input component for adding richer message composition with minimal integration work. It supports rich text formatting, attachments, mentions, emoji, stickers, voice recording, and configurable toolbar behavior, including a floating selection toolbar on desktop or a fixed toolbar above the input. The component is meant to drop into CometChat UI Kits and ship a more polished messaging experience through a single feature flag-style setup.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: this is less about “a new composer” and more about turning rich chat input into a commodity for app teams that do not want to build editor behavior from scratch.

–The biggest value is the toggleable rich-text layer: teams can keep the default compact input and enable formatting only when needed.
–The toolbar behavior is flexible enough to fit different UX styles, but the mobile fallback is sensible and avoids touch-target clutter.
–The component is strongest for products already using CometChat UI Kits; it is an incremental upgrade, not a standalone differentiated product.
–The feature set is practical rather than flashy: shortcuts, mentions, attachments, and voice recording are the kind of details that save engineering time.

Mosh is an open-source, model-driven application security testing harness that wraps around LLMs to automate penetration testing through discovery, planning, dockerized execution, and reporting.

Mosh (Model-driven Open Security Harness) is an open-source security testing application designed to automate the work of a security researcher. Instead of relying on raw prompts, the tool implements a multi-step workflow starting with application discovery (mapping routes and technologies), security planning (creating test hypotheses), and controlled test execution through Docker containers using engagement settings. It continuously writes structured reports and memory logs, allowing developers to safely run, review, and reproduce pen-testing results iteratively as vulnerabilities are resolved.
