RC Chat: An Omegle-inspired Chat Platform

RC Chat is a chat platform with a twist. Instead of finding new friends to chat on your own, we finds them for you! Chat with your new pals in a new, unexpected fashion.

This project is web-based port of the original RC Chat. Both projects are inspired from Omegle Chat, where users get to chat with random strangers.

Deciding to modernize the idea, RC Chat blends the randomized chats with the modern UIs of Discord and Messenger.
