Desync is a minimalist, real-time chat platform built to prioritize meaningful human interaction over feature overload. Inspired by the early days of online text-based communication, the application addresses the common issue in modern chat services like Discord or Slack, which often prioritize complexity and monetization over genuine connection. Our team’s goal was to create a distraction-free, open-source platform that makes language and community the core focus. This project was built with React (Typescript), Tailwind CSS, Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Firebase Realtime Database, Firebase Cloud Functions, and Firebase Hosting (GCP). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-wlq7zRXHg
