How I Built a Real-Time Micro Social App (Kcee Chatify)

Hey everyone! I just launched a new web project called Kcee Chatify, and I wanted to share it with the community.

What is Kcee Chatify?

It is a real-time micro-social platform where anyone can drop a message to a public feed instantly.

How I Built It

I wanted to focus on core web technologies and API routing, so I built it using:

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript
• Backend: Node.js and Express
• Database: SQLite
• Hosting: Netlify (Frontend) and Render (Backend API)

Building a live feed from scratch taught me a lot about handling HTTP requests, managing database queries, and setting up continuous deployment.
