Overview

The idea of guess message chat application is to give tremendous options to user to chat with their friends.They can attach a text, picture, video, or a combination of messaging at a time. You can use it even if you just simply have a question or have something you want to tell people that you want responses to!

The Problem

One to one or one to many chat applications seems normal while comparing with guess message chat app as it said a big NO to third party server usage. Client was very strict about confidentiality and implementing a chat app without a third party server support was challenging.

The challenge

No third party server

• Most of the chat application works with a server as mediator which is readily available in market .But; the client didn’t want to keep logs of the chat history to ensure confidentiality, hence 3rd party server was avoided.

Notification issue

• The usage of XMPP framework had a lot of consistency issues. Team was able to resolve all the consistency issues which is a key goal for any of the chat apps.

Duration of the project

• The best project build up in a short span of time is the exact tagline for guess message app. Adding more resources for timely delivery was appreciated.

Large Member Data

• Since it was a chat app, a major user activity was expected. The challenge was to create an app that could handle a large user base and the resulting data.

Business challenge
