g(alen)-comment-stream is a react/node web app for workshop audience/speaker interaction.
npm start
It allows user to submit a message on /messages endpoint. The message will show up on / real time with socket.
I created this application for a demo in an introduction to backend development workshop that I taught.
It is a intuitive and interactive way to students to see the browser making a POST request with the network tab under Chrome DevTools.
It is also a learning experience for me to write an application that uses socket instead of HTTP requests. I learned how to implement socket and how to deploy and web application with Azure with this project. I was very enjoyable.
