ChitChatz
ChitChatz chat interface showing real-time messaging between users
Users that are not logged in get a username prompt to fill in a username. This is then store in the JWT token provided by the server.
Once a user is logged in he gets to see the available rooms at the left of the screen. Together with the option to create a room for himself.
Once a user has joined the room by clicking it, he can start chatting!
Because this project was all about JWT tokens, a user can view his JWT token in this popup.
