Pull in the refreshed linter and tooling configs (editorconfig, gitignore, gitattributes, prettierignore, prettierrc, markdownlint, yamllint, env.example, dotnet-tools) and run prettier and markdownlint in --fix / --write mode across the repo so the existing tree matches the new rules. - prettier 2-space indent on yaml/yml and json overrides, asterisk strong, underscore emphasis, proseWrap always - markdownlint MD007 indent aligned to 2 and MD049 to underscore so prettier output stays passing - preflight Block F also ignores CLAUDE.md (gitignored personal file) - prettierignore extended to keep HellionChat.yaml manifest and the NuGet packages.lock.json out of the formatter No semantic content changed; csharpier, build, full build-suite (729/729) and the new prettier/markdownlint/yamllint checks all green.

# Contributors — Hellion Chat
|
|
|
|
Hellion Chat is a one-person project on the code side. But without the people on this page, the bug
|
|
fixes and UX improvements that have landed since the early versions would not exist. Every entry
|
|
here has made the plugin concretely better.
|
|
|
|
Attribution for the upstream Chat 2 authors (Infi and Anna) is intentionally in
|
|
[`../NOTICE.md`](../NOTICE.md), not here. This file covers contributions to the Hellion Chat side
|
|
specifically.

## Development
|
|
|
|
### JonKazama (Florian Wathling) — Maintainer
|
|
|
|
Hellion Chat is my first FFXIV plugin and my first larger C#/Dalamud project. My professional
|
|
background is web development (Next.js, React, TypeScript, Prisma). Plugin development in an
|
|
unfamiliar codebase, ImGui, FFXIV game hooks and the entire Dalamud stack were new territory.
|
|
|
|
Privacy-first defaults, per-channel retention, Auto-Tell-Tabs, pop-out input, ChatColours presets,
|
|
the Hellion theme plus Exo 2 font, and the v1.0.0 standalone cut are the Hellion-specific surface
|
|
areas I built on top of the Chat 2 foundation. The learning story behind that is in
|
|
[`LEARNING-JOURNEY.md`](LEARNING-JOURNEY.md).
|
|
|
|
Hellion Chat is part of [Hellion Online Media](https://hellion-media.de).

## Testers
|
|
|
|
A quick note: I do not test this plugin alone. The people listed here reported bugs before they hit
|
|
more users, raised UX problems I had gone blind to, and brought in feature requests that pushed the
|
|
plugin in directions I would not have gone on my own. That is not a given. External testers are
|
|
worth their time.
|
|
|
|
### Carl Beleandis (Carla) — Beta Tester
|
|
|
|
Carl has been testing since the bootstrap phase and has shaped both the pop-out mechanics and the
|
|
theme direction. Feedback comes direct and without detours, which is exactly what I need when
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
Concrete contributions:
|
|
|
|
- **Pop-out discoverability** — pointing out that pop-outs were only reachable via right-click
|
|
triggered the header button and the one-time hint banner in v0.6.1. I knew the right-click path by
|
|
heart and had stopped seeing that new users could not find the feature at all.
|
|
- **/tell pop-out mode** — the request to open /tell tabs directly as a pop-out instead of going
|
|
through the tab sidebar landed in v0.6.1 as an opt-in settings toggle. Bonus: during
|
|
implementation an old ghost-window bug surfaced (LRU drop left pop-out windows as ghosts), which
|
|
got fixed at the same time.
|
|
- **Theme variants with brightness gradations** — the request for a green family shifted my thinking
|
|
from "one theme = one colour" to "theme families with mood variants". On the [roadmap](ROADMAP.md)
|
|
for a later cycle.
|
|
|
|
### Jin (Jingliu) — Alpha Tester
|
|
|
|
Jin is the active tester from day one and pushed the pop-out workflow architecture in a different
|
|
direction.
|
|
|
|
Concrete contributions:
|
|
|
|
- **Pop-out tab with input bar** — the suggestion to be able to type in a pop-out (instead of just
|
|
reading) triggered the v0.6.0 pop-out input bar. That was a larger refactor: the input layer from
|
|
`ChatLogWindow` had to be opened up so it could also live in `Popout.cs`, with an independent text
|
|
buffer and history cursor per pop-out. It dominated the cycle because the design had to be clean
|
|
before any code could happen.
|
|
- **TempTell persistence** — the request for /tell tabs to survive a relog via a pin toggle is on
|
|
the [roadmap](ROADMAP.md) for a later cycle. It touches the tab system architecturally and needs
|
|
its own design work.
