How to create a chat app
Want to experiment with Android dev. For fun want to create a chatting app. Can some of you point me to some good GitHub repos with examples, and some documents to read up. I am a novice to this, and I can't identify good from bad yet so help would be appreciated
Learn to create a socket. gRPC may be a good option too.
Literally YouTube is full tutorials on how to make chat app using firebase
Entire company is built on it and ipoed, slack
They were first to market to bypass telecom services providers on a large scale. Not sure if viber was first. Slack is for businesses not for you to call /text your mom
None of that matters.
Please don't.
Come work at Google.
I don't wanna kill the curiosity :p and I said give me 'good examples' not bad one ;)
Copy the source code of signal or telegram and implement something similar. On the server side you can use ejabberd.
Those would be huge, not POC stuff, right?
They have a lot of complex features, need to somehow extract the core parts.
You sound like a good fit for Google 🥴
Ha ha, no, I just want to learn android. Spent a long time in windows and want to test the ease of app development and publishing, just for fun
LMAO
