Description of Project📝
I have recently delved into web development and created a chat app that is open to everyone. As the sole contributor, I took on the challenge of designing and developing this application. It aims to provide an inclusive space where people from all backgrounds can connect and chat freely. I am proud of what I have accomplished so far, but I am also excited about the future. I am open to collaborating with like-minded individuals who share a passion for web development. Together, we can create even more innovative and accessible web applications that redefine the way we communicate online.
Tech Stack⚒️
Here are the tools and services that I used to create this project:
- Create React App
Appwrite Cloud
- Database
Node.js
- Socket.io
- Vercel
- Render
Challenges We Faced🏔️
During my project, I encountered challenges integrating the server with the Node.js SDK. To overcome this, I opted for client integration using the Web SDK. This alternative approach provided a seamless solution, enabling users to interact with the chat app directly from their browsers. I learned the importance of adaptability and exploring different approaches to overcome obstacles in web development.
