Overview

The project is a boilerplate for building real-time chat applications using Next.js 13 and Socket.IO. It provides a foundation with essential features and integrations, automating API switching based on development or production environments. The backend setup uses an Express server-side configuration for production while using mocked Socket.io API in development. The frontend incorporates Socket.IO within a lightweight state management library called Zustand and simplifies the development of real-time chat applications.
