MoxieChat is the ultimate way to spend your summer learning and growing!

It's a completely open-source, and anonymous chat application. We don't store any data about the users.

Do you want to learn something new this summer? Use MoxieChat! Log in to Moxie and join a chat room on the topic you want to learn. With Moxie it is easier to find like-minded people and accountability partners for your personal goals. Spend your summer productively.

🛠️HOW WE BUILT IT🛠️

  • The backend of Moxie was built using Go, a language that both Matt and Dhravya had never used before
  • On the frontend we used ReactJS, NextJS, TailwindCSS, and Websockets for the chatrooms
  • The team used Github's awesome collaboration features to build the product publicly on open source repositories under the Moxie organisation

❗ Challenges we ran into ❗

  • We were brand new to Golang and had to learn the backend as they built it.
  • There were struggles with websockets not properly working
  • Matt was having difficulty with React and NextJS, but could implement serverside rendering
  • Dhravya has difficulty with TailwindCSS and design

😊 Accomplishments that we're proud of 😊

  • Building a live chat application with a backend language we had never used before
  • Learning brand new languages and frameworks over the weekend. Working with Websockets for the first time, building a multi-channelled real-time chat app in just 2 days.
  • Our first time designing a supportive app that's ✨functional AND pretty ✨without a dedicated ui/ux designer.
  • Using so many tools, languages and frameworks at once, and making them work together :D
  • Submitting on time (I hope? )
