What is qik

qik is a simple & modern fast chat app where making a group takes less than a minute - just copy a link and send to your friends to create a group chat! The chat is currently designed for fast communication, which means it shows only number of messages (currently last 10). Messages that are not shown on the group chat page are deleted.

How it's made

The app is built with Next.js & mongoDB

Notes

Currently the app supports only connection, chat, and user/post page for each one of them. It DOES'NT have a group creating feature with links, but the group that would be created via the link is fully working. If you want to keep working on this, your more than welcome ;) For questions email me :)
