VIDCHA

A real-time video calling and chat application engineered to support high-quality, low-latency communication. The core technical achievement was successfully integrating real-time infrastructure (Streamify and WebSockets) to ensure instant message delivery and stable video connections. I also built a comprehensive friend-request system with efficient state management.

Technologies Used:
  • React.js
  • TailwindCSS
  • Node.js
  • Express
  • MongoDB
  • Daisy UI
  • Streamify
