Hi Gaurav,  
I just saw your Chat App. It was good, very simple and liked it. May I know how did you do this? I liked that how it can be used anonymously.

Works. Simply elegant. I’m kinda new to this, but when I click into the usernames input of other projects, I get a selector list from Window of my previously used user names. This is probably not a thing, just something I noticed.

since it is a input field that’s why you are getting record of your previously written usernames…

looks awesome man if you add a fixed or max height of like 70vh to the .chat-messages the messages should stay contained and the page wont keep getting longer

Same remark as Joshua-Icenogle,

Good app, but there is a mistake with the chat. You need to limit the height to keep the chat inside a container and have the possibility to scroll

Have a nice code !
