Inspiration
I felt the need to have a chatbox that works in real-time that can be plugged into websites and web applications as third party service
What it does
It allows a user to create a session, then share the room's name with another person who joins and then they can have a chat
How I built it
I built it using react and socket.io
Challenges I ran into
A few bugs here and there
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm happy that it works to my expectations and it can be improved to offer some awesome services
What I learned
Socket.io is a good tool to create real-time chatboxes
What's next for react-socket.io-realtime-chatbox
In future, I'll improve it and integrate it into another web application that I'm currently working on
