Features #

• Reaction Dialog: Upon long-pressing the chat widget, a user-friendly dialog appears, offering a range of expressive reactions.
• Compact Layout: The reactions are presented in a clean column layout, with the first child being a row containing six default reactions. A convenient '+' sign allows users to access an extended emoji container for even more reaction options.
• Context Menu: Below the message widget, users can access a context menu, adding depth to the interaction within the chat application.
• customizable Widgets: Reactions and Context Menu can be customized.
