Secure and lightweight chat app

Primary LanguageJavaScript

YipYap

A lightweight chat app built with React, Node and Socket.io.

Quick Start

Go to https://yipyap.netlify.com/ and create a chat room by entering a username and room name. You can then share this room with another person to start chatting. No data is stored on the server.

Development

The project includes two sections: client (React app) and server (Node app). The client interacts with the server over a socket provided by socket.io library.

git clone https://github.com/rxhl/yipyap.git && cd yipyap

# client
cd client
npm install
npm start # opens the app on port 3000

# server
cd server
npm install
nodemon # starts the server on port 5000

Deployment

The client is deployed on Netlify and the server on Heroku.
