Challenges we ran into

It was overall a smooth experience for us. But we faced a lot of challenges while implementing the chat.

We worked with web sockets in order to implement chat successfully. We came up with a lot of bugs and it took time to rectify them.
As it is the time of Covid, we faced difficulty in working on the project remotely. Also, the teammates have knowledge of different tech stacks so we had to choose the common ones for our ease.
