ChatApp
Summary
Built a secure and scalable full-stack chat application leveraging the MERN stack, integrating Socket.io for real-time messaging and JWT authentication for secure user access. Used bcryptjs for password encryption and cookie-parser for session management. Optimized backend performance with Cloudinary for efficient image uploads, used CORS for cross-origin requests, dotenv for secure configuration management, and Zustand for global real-time state management.
