Chat Application using React, Express, socket.io, Node.js

It allows multiple users to chat in a same room in real time.

forked from another repo, just trying to get it fixed up so its a nice base for someone to use.

Motive behind the App:

Join. Chat. Leave. No Records.

Features of the App:

• Multiple users can connect to the same room and chat.
• The app is based on Snapchat as when you leave the room the messages automatically get deleted.
• The app allows you to send text messages and emojis ;)
• No duplicate users can join the same room which means no two users with the same name can join the same room.
• Multiple rooms can function simultaneously.
• The app is purely based on JS so none of your chat data is saved anywhere. User privacy is important.
