React Discord Clone

Functional Discord Clone using React, Socket IO, NodeJS, Express and MySQL

Currently learning WebRTC to implement voice!

Originally started off on a test project for learning Functional Components, Hooks, Socket IO and TypeScript ended up being a Discord Clone.

Live Version http://ericellb.github.io/React-Discord-Clone

API https://github.com/ericellb/React-Discord-API

Important

If you need to use my backend api change the env variable REACT_APP_API_URL in .env to https://simple-chat-apix.herokuapp.com, otherwise host the API yourself and set this environment variable appropriately.
