Phase 1 Completed:

10/07/2024 - 17/01/2025

I am extremely excited to announce the successful completion of Phase 1 of ChatApp! While the application is still under development, the foundation is set with these core features:

• Authentication Module:
  Provides secure and seamless login and signup functionality, ensuring data privacy and user-friendly onboarding.

• User Search:
  Users can search for others by their username, making it easy to find and connect with friends.

• Friend Request Module:
  A dedicated system to send, accept, or reject friend requests, enabling users to build their friend network.

• Real-time Messaging:
  Instant communication is achieved through a robust socket-based implementation, ensuring messages are delivered in real time without delays.

• Message and Friend History:
  Persistent storage of messages and friendship data, allowing users to view past conversations and maintain their connections.

Reflections on Phase 1

Developing Phase 1 has been a rewarding journey. The process involved extensive coding, debugging, and sleepless nights planning implementations. Finally it's good to see ChatApp working smoothly.

  Users will be able to personalize their profiles by adding custom photos and writing a bio, enhancing individuality and interaction.

• Complet JWT Authentication and encryption: Every requesting will be proceeded only after verifyling the token and all the data will be encrpting durng transmissing and storing in db.

• Logout Module:
  Securely log out of the application with a streamlined, user-friendly process.
