Chat Room for Hootsuite Challenge

I created an application for creating chat rooms. The idea to create user channels and other users can discuss a topic in this room.

Technical features

Language

I make the App with Swift 2.0 .

Architeture

I divided the App in basically 3 Controllers:

Login: Implementation of Social login system (I disabled the login Facebook because it works not legal in the simulator)
Main: Main screen that manages the creation of Channel objects. A list of channels that is updated in real-time, simple.
ChatRoom: A screen that uses the dynamic properties of NoSQL database Firebase, being able to create ChatRoom any source object. In the present case a list of channels, but the ChatRoom screen receives the root parameter as creating a list of messages within this root.

Backend

I used Firebase, its database features Realtime. Also it manages users and keeps your data safe.

Challenges

I believe that the time to learn a realtime database system was the first challenge. Another challenge was not to use interface components and program chat components, a very interesting challenge.
