Chat Page
Inspiration
The major inspiration for this project was to build a fast, fair, and secure Application on a decentralized, public network to help fellow heartbroken people in connecting and chatting with other people
What it does
This is a full-stack modern web chat application that allows people all over the world who are heartbroken or looking for love to chat anonymously. All messages in the chat application are submitted to Hedera where hashgraph will come to a consensus on a provable, fair order within the topic, with a sequence number, running hash, and consensus timestamp attached. Then the messages will be propagated through a Hedera Mirror Node before displaying to clients connected to the same topic.
How I built it
I built it using the Hedera JavaScript SDK, running it on an Express.js server, and the website was rendered using html css and javascript and configured to a Socket.io chat client.
Challenges I ran into
Implementing the technology of Hedera was challenging as I had not worked on blockchain before this hackathon. Connecting and configuring it with socket.io was also a bit difficult
Accomplishments that I am proud of
I am proud of the fact that I was able to learn and build a decentralized app using hedera with in the time constraints of this hackathon
What I learned
I learnt how to use Hedera,how to connect it with socket and set up a express js server
