Simple Chat

The "Simple Chat" application powered from GatsbyJS, NodeJS, MongooseJS and socket.io allow user to create "public" and "private" rooms, with privacy in mind.

Which means, we never save your messages on our server, only active chat members who can read your messages during your active session. Thanks to socket.io enables real-time, bidirectional and event-based communication.
