Acknowledgements

• To create the Friendships we use the following tutorial as reference: https://smartfunnycool.com/friendships-in-activerecord/;
• To the chat: https://iridakos.com/programming/2019/04/04/creating-chat-application-rails-websockets;

Future improvements:

• Currently, the user has to refresh the page on the chat to display new messages. The goal is to make the chat asynchronous.
