How I Built a Free-to-Use Chat App for Strangers Using Firebase & Angular

🚀 Ever wanted to chat with strangers online without complicated sign-ups or intrusive ads? That’s exactly what I set out to build with ChatWithMe—a simple, secure, and real-time chat platform using Angular and Firebase.

Why Build a Chat App for Strangers?
The internet is filled with random chat apps like Omegle and Chatroulette, but most suffer from:
❌ Privacy issues – Many apps track user data.
❌ Too many ads – Constant interruptions ruin the experience.
❌ Complicated sign-ups – Users just want to chat instantly!

I wanted to create a fast, free, and privacy-focused alternative where users can:
✅ Chat 1-on-1 with strangers in real-time
✅ Join a global chatroom with minimal effort
✅ Use guest login (no email required!)

So, I built ChatWithMe—a secure and fun way to meet new people online. Try it here: ChatWithMe.
