Description

Chat.IO is a web chat application that I built to learn more about Google Firebase capabilities and services.

This project has the following features:

• Authentication
• Responsive Design
• Image Profile
• Users can be searched by name
• Users can upload their profile picture
• Sound notification when there is a new message

What did I learn from this project:

• The Firebase Authentication service is excellent for making a quick authentication integration in a website or web application.
• The Firestore Database service is excellent for applications that do not need a server because it has libraries to handle data in the front end. The only downside, a server is required to support WebSockets to make this project easier to build.
• I learned more about the rxjs package to handle subscriptions from Firestore Database.

A demo URL will be added at later date on this page, as well as the git repository will be made public and shown here.
