NEX Message.

💬 Nex Message is a full stack chat messaging application using Next.js, Chakra UI, GraphQL, Prisma, & MongoDB

• This project was created to experiment with websockets 🕸️ and creating my own websocket server!
  
• In addition, Chakra UI 🧘 allowed me to flex my styling muscles, using new components to create the sleek UI.
  
• During this project I was able to learn to use the Prisma ORM 🧊 to access my MongoDB database 🍃.
  
• This also exposed me to configuring and using GraphQL 📊 with Apollo to access Queries, Mutations, & Subscriptions for my websocket connections.
