Chatbox

A lightweight and responsive web chat application hosted on DigitalOcean. Features Node.js's Express.js and Socket.io plugins as well as MongoDB integration. Basically everything is accomplished using a combination of those three modules (as well as a few niche modules a la CookieParser).

Current Development Goals

  • SSL usage for the login page -- SSL was applied everywhere.
  • Add channels like in IRC. -- Probably working on this next.
  • Make some pages "more" responsive (ie, to tablets and large phones instead of just small phone and PCs).
  • Add new ways to send content such as photos.
  • Create a proper frame for the chat page -- Accomplished, but a little wonky on mobile.
  • Create a native mobile app on iOS to provide all functionality in-app. -- Currently working on this. Progress won't be visible as currently the code is in a private repository.
