What is Chat Engine

Chat Engine is an API which makes it easy to build chat services.

Building a chat from scratch takes a lot of time, code, and is expensive, it’s better to use a product instead of writing it from scratch.

It will allow you to build your chat idea in minutes and makes it simple to expand and customise.

Taking it further

In this project video, you’ll build a full-fledged Firebase Chat Application. With social authentication including Google and Facebook using Firebase, online statuses, great design, and functionality, image support, sound notifications, the ability to create multiple rooms, and much more, this chat app is even better than the first chat application video I’ve created. I’ve listened to every single one of your comments and added all the features that you’ve requested.
