implementation details are:

• Backend

  • login/signup was implemented with DRF and with django rest knox
  • using websockets on frontend, channels on backend for full duplex communication

  • the UI was built using bulma CSS framework, tailwind utility css, bloomer
  • on frontend using react-router for client side navigation, redux for single state source, axios for making HTTP calls
