❔ Guidance with developing a messaging application
So a friend of mine and I recently decided that we'd like to make a desktop messaging app for two main reasons: to start and complete a more advanced project and to prepare for our examined coding application come summer 2024. However, I would like some insight and advice before we proceed.
In essence, the messaging app will allow users to talk in 1 to 1 DMs or join a group/server. They will need to create an account using an email. As for the GUI, I know a small amount of WPF but we wouldn't mind learning or using something else instead. That's pretty much all that's set in stone right now
We're still looking at how the logic regarding how messages will be sent and saved will work and how creating an account with an email will work ( checking if an account exists and then loading all of said accounts relevant data)
I would appreciate any and all advice regarding this project, such as what order would it be best to approach this task, what libraries would be most suitable and what sort of features you would personally want implemented in a messaging app.
Links to any resources such as videos/discussions/blogs would also be incredibly helpful
