Let's Chat

Inspiration

I was greatly impressed about how chatting apps had changed our lives. So, I also wanted to make a chat app through which one can connect with anyone in the world.

What it does

It is a Web Application through which one can do chatting with multiple participants. Other features include- sharing photos and videos, sharing files and sending live locations of users (used google api for the same). It is a responsive website and works on cross platform.

How we built it

Technologies and dependencies used-

1. NodeJS ( for backend development)
2. Socket.IO ( for real time communication)
3. Heroku ( for deploying application)
4. Express
5. Google API
6. Buffer

Challenges we ran into

Faced challenges in using google api

Accomplishments that we're proud of

That I was able to complete project with 80% of the features I wanted to add in this app.

What we learned

Learned about webrtc, socket.IO for real time communication

What's next for Let's Chat

I want to continue by enhancing this app even more by making it a video chat app.
