Built a real-time chat app from scratch! 💬
Excited to share my latest project: a real-time chat application using React and Socket.IO.
This project was a great opportunity to dive deeper into:
- React: Building a dynamic and responsive user interface with components and state management.
- Socket.IO: Implementing real-time communication for instant message delivery and user presence updates.
- Backend Integration: Connecting the frontend to a Node.js server to handle user authentication, message storage, and other backend logic.
The app features:
- Private and group chats: Easily switch between conversations with friends or colleagues.
- Real-time notifications: Stay updated on new messages and user activity.
- User presence indicators: See who's online and actively chatting.
This project was a fun and challenging experience, and I learned a lot about building real-time applications.
