From this project, I became familiar with many new technologies and aspects of web development. I implemented only functional components and websockets which were both new to me. This was also the first application where I deployed a front-end and a back-end server. I had to navigate a few things to set up my production database and environment.
- add more games (Simon, hangman)
- Implement end to end encryption
- Create a react native version to deploy the app on iOS, Android as well as the web.
