Live Chat (IMS)

I made this project when I first came to know about websockets. My aim was to build a IMS like whatsapp, messenger etc.

Tech Stack

Client: React, Typescript, Websockets

Server: Quart (Async Flask), SQLite3, Tortoise ORM, Pydantic

Lessons Learned

I learnt how websockets and ISM work? Biggest challenge I faced was authorization in websockets, I had to read many articles to implement a secure authorization.

Side Note: This project was built 2 years ago. And this readme was added later, some features might not work as expected, feel free to fix them :)
