Inspiration

This app was inspired by our Discord conversations where we mostly communicate through gifs.

What it does

Sends gifs instead of messages to your friends

How we built it

We built this app with an Angular frontend and a Flask backend. Communication between clients was done through web sockets using socket.io Deployed both frontend and backend through GCP

Challenges I ran into
