Has anyone here nailed building a messaging experience using Softr?

i’m building a marketplace where two different user types need to message each other directly, and our current setup just isn’t cutting it— it works, but the UX feels clunky, is confusing, and just kind of looks well… bad overall.

If you’ve conquered messaging in Softr, I need your expertise! Here’s what I’m after:

  • :framed_picture: Real-World Examples: Links or screenshots of Softr apps with slick messaging flows
  • :hammer_and_wrench: Blocks & Customizations: Which core blocks you chose, and any CSS or settings tweaks that made them shine
  • :bulb: UX Best Practices: Layout tips, notification hacks, mobile vs. desktop considerations—everything you’ve learned

Right now my data source is airtable, I have a conversations table, and a messages table so when two users connect it creates a conversation table record and then all indiv messages are linked records to that convo

Share links, screen grabs, even a quick walkthrough—anything helps. :raised_hands: Thank you

This is a bit old, but have you seen this?
