U There

About The Project

U-There is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) built with Svelte and Firebase that allows users to create groups and indicate their online/offline status. This facilitates communication and coordination within teams. The application leverages Firestore (NoSQL) for data storage and real-time updates.

Key Features

• Group Creation: Users can create groups with a name and optional image.
• User Management: Group admins can add or remove members from the group.
• Admin Roles: Group admins can assign or remove other admins.
• Status Indication: Users can indicate their online/offline status (Available, Busy, Offline, On Vacation).
• Real-time Messaging: A simple chat interface is available within each group.
• PWA Functionality: Installable and works offline thanks to service worker caching.
• WhatsApp Integration: Users can initiate WhatsApp chats with other group members directly from the app.

The application utilizes the following technologies:

• Frontend: Svelte
• Backend: Firebase (Authentication, Firestore)
• PWA: Service Worker
• Build Tool: Vite
• Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, CSS
