| -Echo is a new chat messaging app aimed at allowing you to talk to strangers _(or as we like to say, friends who haven't met 😆)_ within a radius around you. This allows for more time/location relevant chats as well as allowing users to connect with the people who are closer to them. Unlike many chat apps, our app aims to keep interactions in real time and doesn't save chats/information after you are done chatting! Just like real conversations, we believe the best socializing happens on the spot! |

| -This repository holds the all of the code that our Echo app utilizes (pretty cool right? 😎). This repository is public because we believe in the future of open source projects, the community is what makes developing so special ✨! It is split into the frontend/app `/client` and the backend/server `/server`. Take a look around, we're sure you'll find yourself wanting to help out! Ready?

This allows for more time & location relevant chats: say at a lecture hall, large library or public event. Messages are sent in realtime, and aren't saved to servers while you're chatting.
