Web Application

Explain your app, should be at least a paragraph. What does it do? Why should I use? Sell your product!

The application is a communication platform for realtime chat between two or more users. We will be utilizing NodeJS, JavaScript, Google Translate API.

Users will be able to create a username and enter a group chat. They can chat through command line to other users in the same chat server. We have utilized Google Translate API to translate one user's preferred language to the other user's preferred language. Essentially, users can communicate easily and effectively in multiple languages at the same time.

Expansion of this project will include persisting messages in a database so that users will be able to receive messages when they are not active on the server and review previously received messages.

Tools Used

• NodeJS
• Express
• Socket.io
