Heppegram

This project is a real-time chat application built using Go for the backend, React for the frontend, WebSocket protocol for real-time messaging, GORM for database management, and Echo for handling HTTP requests. The application allows users to engage in private conversations, store unread messages, and view the online/offline status of other users.

Features

• Private Real-Time Messaging: Users can exchange private messages in real-time using WebSocket protocol, enabling instant communication.
• Unread Messages Storage: The application stores unread messages for each chat, ensuring users can catch up on conversations they may have missed.
• Online/Offline Status: Users can see the online or offline status of other users, providing visibility into their availability for communication.
• Deleting chats and messages

Future Features

• Read Receipt: notify users when their messages have been read by the recipient.
• Typing Indicator: add functionality to show when a user is typing a message, enhancing the user experience and indicating active communication.
• File Sharing: enable users to send files such as images, documents, or multimedia files during chat sessions, expanding the range of communication possibilities.
