Chatroom
A web sockets based API for building chat plugins
The problem Chatroom solves
Developed using Node JS, Express JS, and sockets.io, the chatroom is a free-to-use API for building chat plugins for applications. It makes use of web sockets to establish a bidirectional, full-duplex connection for a real-time experience.
Chatroom puts privacy at its forefront as no messages are stored on the server or any external central database.
Challenges I ran into
It was my first hands-on experience with web sockets. Understanding its working and implementation was challenging. Handling of un-used rooms was also an issue (it is handled by terminating the room once the last participant has left)
