Pp{Chat}

Chat app using React, React-router, Socket.io, Express and Redux. Made only for training purposes. Still in development.

Redux at the moment serves no purpose, but will get to that in a while.

Features

• New design
• Login with username
• Links in chat (react-linkify)
• Appending messages
• Anti-spam
• Client-side timestamps
• Auto-scroll
• Some random names as default
• Users list

Known issues:

• No integration with localStorage/cookies/session (You'll have to log in every time)
• Logout not implemented
• Users list won't update
• RHS for mobile not yet implemented
• Autoscroll works even when you scroll up 😡

TODO:

• Better anti-spam system (Server-side too)
