Chatne is a simple chat application built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose that allows authenticated Google users to join a single shared chat room.
This project was initiated to explore Firebase Authentication, WebSocket, and Push Notifications. Initially focusing on building a basic chat app, I aim to expand its functionality to include person-to-person chats and options for connecting users with strangers. This ongoing development journey is driven by a passion for learning and innovation.
