NAMAKAMU – Private Chatroom for Two
Inspiration
Namakamu was inspired by real love stories that deserved their own private universe.
Some people want to chat in peace, without pressure or judgment.
That’s where it began — to give lovers a safe, disappearing space to connect.
What it does
- Creates a private, two-person chat room
- Requires Room Code to join (no login)
- Room creator and joiner indicators using heart emojis
- Real-time, WhatsApp-style messages
- Auto-deletes the chat after 24 hours
How I built it
- React.js and Vite for the frontend
- Tailwind CSS for styling
- Firebase Firestore for real-time messaging
- React Router for routing
- Vercel for hosting
- Message bubbles with color and alignment logic
Challenges I ran into
- Real-time sync without user login
- Limiting the room to exactly two users
- Designing a soft, emotional UI
- Handling auto-expiry with timestamps
- Removing login for a smoother flow
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
- Built a working 1-on-1 chat with no login
- Added visual identity using heart colors
- Implemented 24-hour auto-deletion
- Created a mobile-first, responsive UI
- Deployed on Vercel, live and public
