Majority of the app is handled using io.\n4. __MomentJS__ : For handling message timestamps and dates.\n5. __Browser's GeoLocator__ : For handling the location coordinates of the user. *Not available before IE 11.*\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Felit-altum%2Fsocket-chat-app","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Felit-altum%2Fsocket-chat-app","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Felit-altum%2Fsocket-chat-app/lists"}
