Chyloo
Real-Time Social Media Platform
Built a real-time social platform with live chat and conversation sync using dual socket architecture
The biggest challenge was maintaining real-time synchronization between chat messages and the conversation list. Updates needed to reflect instantly across both interfaces without delays or inconsistencies, especially during active messaging sessions and group interactions.
Implemented a dual Socket.IO connection strategy, one dedicated to real-time chat messaging and another for updating the conversation list. This separation ensured consistent, scalable, and conflict-free real-time updates across different parts of the application.
Chyloo is a full-stack social media platform inspired by Facebook and Instagram, designed to deliver a dynamic, real-time user experience. It includes authentication, posts, stories, messaging, and social interactions, all built with a scalable architecture and optimized performance in mind.
Successfully built a production-level social media platform with scalable real-time architecture, improving understanding of WebSockets, system design, and handling complex state synchronization.
