I've been working on a Real-Time Communication system, and right now I'm focusing on the frontend side of it. The UI/UX gives me a better understanding of how important user experience is when building a client-side application.

I now have a good idea of how features like chat roasters, read receipts, audio/video calls, voice messages, etc. work in WhatsApp and similar applications. The implementation might differ from one application to another, but the core fundamentals remain largely the same.

One of the best presentations I have ever seen. This article should be made standard for learning about mechanical watches.
