#Yoshi Chat

Built with:

• Node / Express
• React
• Redux
• Immutable
• PubNub
• Yoti

Wins:

• Real-time comunication across multiple channels
• Full Yoti integration
• Able to restrict rooms based on Yoti profile
• 1st time using React/Redux/Immutable

Challenges to overcome

• Unable to send selfie to PubNub for chat history. URL becomes too long trying to send the base64.
• Give better feedback when a user does not pass a room restriction. (Right now it is a console message).
• Remove the small areas of react state, switch to redux there.
• Somehow call the API in the controller (middleware?) instead of axiom. (Axiom is nice though).
• Make it look nicer

Bugs

• View not updating when changing room (but new messages ingress/egress WILL be published there!)

Running the app

• Development = npm run dev
• Production = npm start
