MERN / Socket.IO / Real-time conversations
Chatty.
A little closer.
One conversation at a time.
01 / Overview
Built for the back-and-forth.
Chatty is a real-time chat application built with the MERN stack: MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. Socket.IO powers the live connection between the interface and server, bringing messages into the conversation as they happen.
02 / Experience
The conversation comes first.
01
Keep the conversation flowing.
A chat experience built around exchanging messages and having conversations in real time.
02
Connected through Socket.IO.
Socket.IO connects the client and server so new messages can reach the conversation without a page refresh.
03
Full-stack, from end to end.
A React interface, an Express and Node.js backend, and MongoDB come together in one MERN application.
