What is the advantage of creating a chat like this vs. using the Socket.io library? Your method seems to be far more straight-forward than using Socket.io... Note that I'm very new to NodeJS in general, so maybe I'm comparing Apples to Oranges.
I’d say the only real advantage here, over any chatbot library, is just the educational purposes lol 😂 I’m a coding bootcamp student so I write these blog posts usually thinking about things that have helped me actually learn, I’ve tried to use libraries before without understanding the fundamentals and it can lead to a difficult mess later.
