Inspiration

The inspiration I got for this application is from the theme of this hackathon itself. Whenever we feel low or our mental condition is not good, we want someone with whom we can share our stuff to feel relaxed.

What it does

With the motivation of bringing people with similar moods together, this application has been developed. It creates room according to different moods the user may have, and in one particular room, only people with similar moods can interact. And there is another feature of inviting friends to the chat using SendGrid (Twilio).

How we built it

This application is built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Socket.io, Twilio, etc. Along with these technologies sponsored technologies are also being used to integrate this application to the next level.

Challenges we ran into

We got into many troubles like understanding and implementing the concept of the socket.io in our own way. Understanding all the sponsored tracks and then thinking of integrating with all the possible ones to increase the chances of winning. Implementing the feature to stay alert with profound words to create a healthy chatting platform.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It was quite challenging to develop this project in a time period of 1.5 days because we had to learn socket.io and then implement things parallelly, but we're proud of ourselves that we've marked our checkpoint.

What we learned

We have learned many technologies like Socket.io, Twilio, cockroachDB, core concepts of NodeJS, etc.

What's next for ChatAndRelax

We're planning to improve the authentication for this project and serve more features like notifying or inviting users via sms, whatsapp, or emails.
