CollaborX

Inspiration

With work from home becoming the new normal, It is very important to be productive and work efficiently. Collaboration can be difficult while working remotely, there is a need for a tool which can make collaboration seamless. This thought process is the reason behind the birth of CollaborX- The work from home tool to help teams collaborate seamlessly!

What it does

CollaborX is a collaboration tool that lets teams chat in different channels and makes communication between team members hassle free. A team can make multiple channels to aid intra-team communication. Users can send text messages and even assets(images and videos) within these channels that would make communication easy!

Users can be added and removed into these channels by admins which could be team leads. This ensures authorization and authentication is not compromised.

CollaborX video chat was in the pipeline but couldn't be integrated end to end due to time crunch!

How I built it

CollaborX is a webapp build using React for the frontend and NodeJs, Websockets and webRTC under the hood of chatEngine on the backend.

Challenges I ran into
