Problem

Our team was tasked with creating a chat application that would allow users to communicate in password-protected rooms and share various types of files, including images, videos, and zip files. We needed to ensure that the application was user-friendly and easy to navigate while also providing advanced features for more experienced users.

One of the main challenges we faced was integrating Google Firebase into the application. While Firebase is a powerful tool for real-time communication, it can be difficult to set up and configure properly. Additionally, we needed to ensure that the application was secure and protected against potential security threats.

Solution

To address these challenges, we decided to use React as our front-end framework due to its flexibility and ease of use. We also utilized Google Firebase for real-time communication between users and password-protected room functionality.

In order to make the application more user-friendly, we implemented a simple yet intuitive interface that allowed users to easily create new rooms or join existing ones. We also added advanced features such as file sharing capabilities for images, videos, and zip files.
