Vartalap is a real-time chat application designed around one-to-one and group messaging experiences.
The application uses Socket.io to provide live message updates and real-time communication between users.
The application implements user authentication and management using Passport.js, JWT, and bcrypt password hashing.
JWT is used for authentication while bcrypt is used to securely hash user passwords.
The backend is built with Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, and Mongoose.
REST APIs handle chat history, group management, and user sessions, providing the backend foundation for the messaging application.
Socket.io is used for real-time messaging and live updates, allowing users to communicate without relying solely on traditional request-response interactions.
Cloudinary is integrated for storing and delivering user profile images.
The chat interface is built with React and Tailwind CSS, providing a responsive UI with application state management for the messaging experience.
