Chat-Application

Timeline

  • 25th February: Learnt how Websockets work, and how we require a HTTP server to serve requests from a browser. Used an implementation of a webserver in Python, SimpleWebSocketServer.

  • 27th February: Added basic Frontend elements, still need to figure out the complete Frontend layout. Urgent TODO: Form the backend quickly

  • 1st March: Changing backend server from Python to a NodeJS HTTP Server, front-end remains some. Decision taken due to a lot of shortcomings using a Python backend, such as poor support of handling events, etc. (Would have to use a lot of libraries and still would not have got the required result)

  • 4th March: Basic layout completed, need to add authentication and rooms option needs to be integrated with Frontend. Approximating deadline as 8th March for this.

  • 6th March: Implementing Passport.js for session rememberance, and authentication. Quite a lot of work. Working on Routes, since if authentication is added, the server needs to handle if someone unauthenticated doesn't get sensitive (:P) information.

  • 27th March: Fixed up a lot of things, implemented Passport.js and sessions completely.

  • 10th April: Implememted room-wise history of messages, and improved GUI.

  • 15th April: Deployed the App to Heroku, and wrote some test cases.

esc101-project-track's Issues

Correction in README.md

While instructing the user to run the repository offline, you wrote "clown" the repository instead of "clone" the repository. Also the title says "Chat Appication" instead of "Chat Application"

Also the handle of the mentor is @govg and not @govig
