SocketTalk — Real Time Chat with Spring Boot & WebSockets

Welcome to SocketTalk — a real-time chat application built with Spring Boot, WebSockets, and a clean, Telegram-inspired frontend UI.

In this video, I walk you through the entire process of building SocketTalk from scratch:
• Setting up the backend with STOMP over WebSocket
• Creating a responsive HTML/CSS/JS frontend
• Broadcasting messages to multiple users
• Aligning messages dynamically based on sender
• Tracking active participants in real time

Whether you're a backend developer exploring WebSocket integration or a frontend enthusiast looking to build chat UIs, this project gives you a complete, hands-on demo of how real-time communication works in modern web apps.

🔧 Technologies used:
• Java 17 + Spring Boot
• STOMP over SockJS
• HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• SockJS Client + STOMP.js

💡 Features:
• Real-time messaging
• Dynamic sender alignment ("You" vs others)
• Participant tracking
• Mobile-style UI for desktop
