Hours Take Home

Live App

What I did above and beyond the spec in < 24 hours.

• Chat Functionality
  • Persistent chat history with the use of MongoDB
    • Allows for users to refresh their page without losing all of chat
    • Opens the door for moderation of chat sessions as messages are stored with author names and timestamps
  • Report feature that allows users to "report" a session, which flags it in the database
  • Discord like auto-scroll down feature when a new message is sent
• Server side verification of available rooms
  • We don't want users to be able to join any room they want, only ones that
