Feature overview: Django Channels WebSockets, stored conversations and browser message state Feature overview

The project explored everyday messaging features in a real-time web application.

Private and group conversations, delivery/read states, starred messages, file uploads and older-message loading.

The work involved coordinating WebSocket updates with stored conversations and the message state displayed in the browser.

I built and debugged messaging features across the backend and frontend, including live updates and conversation history.
