About The Project

This real-time chat application is designed to facilitate instant messaging between users, integrating secure user registration, authentication, and image upload functionalities. Built with React and Node.js, it demonstrates my ability to create dynamic and interactive full-stack applications.

Features

👉 Real-time Messaging: Enables instant communication between users with live updates.

👉 User Authentication: Secure user login and registration using bcrypt.js for password hashing.

👉 Image Upload: Allows users to upload and display profile images, managed via Cloudinary.

👉 Protected Routes: Middleware to protect routes, ensuring only authenticated users can access certain pages
