In this post, we are going to build a desktop application that is like your typical one to one chat client. Where, a user logs in, sees a list of other users. And can chat with any of them. This app is called Chatter.
As you can see from the above demo, we have used Firebase as our data store to manage the user’s presence and their chat messages. And also, if you did notice, when User B sent a new message to User A, a new chat window opened automatically, like a typical chat app.
We will take a look at how all the above can be achieved. So, let us get started on building Chatter.
