How it works

Socket.IO Server

The front-end was published on Netlify, the backend on Heroku, currently the front is using heroku version, so in order to make changes on server you need to make the change and push to the main branch, so it will automatic deploy to heroku and netlify at the same time.

Auth System

We store the email using nextjs iron session, saving it in a cookie, prob not the best solution but helps a lot since we don't have a create user page.

Getting Started

First, install npm modules:

npm install
# or
yarn

And start the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Future Improvements

  • Tests (integration, unit...)
  • Private chat messages
  • User Profile
  • Better performance for socket server (implement rooms)
  • Prevent weird characters on messages
  • Increase security preventing script injection
  • Fix weird bug with tailwind that makes text-color not work for link after build

Cool Ideas

  • Maybe login with MetaMask
  • Send tokens and NFTs through chat
