The idea
Start a conversation with a username, connect with active users and keep the experience focused on a 24-hour window.
What I built
An ephemeral messaging application with a responsive dark interface and Socket.IO-powered conversations.
- Username-only entry
- 24-hour account and chat-session model
- Active-user discovery
- Realtime messaging using Socket.IO
Technical focus
Coordinating realtime events with React and Redux UI state, backed by Node.js, Express and MongoDB. The central engineering focus is the lifecycle of a short-lived messaging session.
