sakets3010 / vcare_ Goto Github PK

This is an app initially built with an aim to address the issue of mental health and providing a platform to all the people so as to help express themselves to other fellow people anonymously especially in these times and get some moral help in return.The app offers all the chat features a normal chatting application would offer along with "Helper" and "Seeker" tags to users so as to distinguish them and create a safe haven for the "Seekers" to express themselves.

Just as the app was about to get finished,i realized cloud firestore,instead of real time database, would suit my app better by offering offline caching and returning faster queries.To structure the code,to migrate from rtd to cloud firestore and then to re-write the code again so that it suited firestore was quite tedious and required a lot of patience to get through.
