General Overview
LetsChatHere is an extremely simple, real-time chat application that allows users to create a chat room and share a link to join the room with others. No usernames, no sign-ups, no passwords, completely anonymous.
This is the result of a spontaneous idea and an afternoon of coding. I'd wanted to get some practice with websockets, and I thought this would be a great opportunity.
There is no data persistence, all messages disappear when the last user leaves the room. Leaving and joining a room causes the user to be assigned a new random chat handle. It's all very barebones, but it'll be a fun project to work on this year and learn more about websockets.
The app is built with React with Vite, and Node.js, Express, and Socket.IO for the backend.
Project Status & Features
The project is still in it's early stages. It isn't hosted publicly yet, but I'll be working on it the remainder of 2025 to see what it becomes!
