Frank's Chat

About the Chat

I am creating this page because I want to get more experience using Web Sockets. If enough messages are eventually accrued on this page, then I will also get the opportunity to implement infinite scroll as well.

How It Works:

When you first interact with the site, a random name is generated for you. This random name is generated using the unique-names-generator npm package, and it is tied to your ip address.
