Text App

Text App is a fun project done on IOS. While very simple, it incoporates Firebase API and realtime updates. One can register for an account, where they are immediately interacting with everyone else. Once logged in, all users are shown and when clicked, displays the chat history, scrolled to the most recent. Chats are real-time updated, with User and Time displayed with it. There is color theme for messages for additional clarity.

I originally created this because learning Swift was more fun than expected. I wanted to create a full chatting app anyway. I want to eventually tweak it to have a more appealing UI instead of basic Swift UI. Profile images and searching for users instead of automatic full access can be added.

Highlights

  • Swift and XCode usage
  • Firestore Database API + realtime updates
